Felpham Font
The font, made of Wealden marble, may be contemporary with the rebuilding of the church circa 1100.
Even allowing for it being made for babies to be baptised by being immersed in water, the bowl is particularly large. The four sides have cut arcades; the carving is crudely done, and is probably local work.
Fonts are usually by church doors, and this one was until the late 1970s, when it was moved as well as being restored.
