The South Door

By the South door the tub shaped font which may be a survival from the earlier church or contemporary with the Nave Archades and tower. Behind the font at floor level is the stone coffin lid placed here in 1963. The coffin was found beneath the north side of the nave and the details indicate it to be of the late 12th century period. The coffin was left in situ but the chalice which was inside the coffin and is of lead tin alloy circa 1180 1280, was removed and is on loan to Christ Church Cathedral museum Oxford.
