Still in Brent Eleigh Church. If you look at the outside corners of the box pews (to the left and right of the font) you should be able to see two rather earlier bench ends that have been built into the box pews. Also the carved oak font cover which was probably made at much the same time as the boxing in was done. Cheers, Mike.

Any idea how old the font is?
Couldn't find the usual booklet of the church's history, but the font appears to be of 14th century date. I am, of course, subject to correction, and I would value your opinion.
I think I might have gone earlier, perhaps even 12th
You may be right. Let's split the difference and call it possibly 13th.
