What is recorded here
An octagonal font (dim. 0.68m) with a circular basin (diam. 0.52m; D 0.22m; H c. 0.4m) and stiff-leaf decoration on the eight side-panels, was originally supported on four pillars. The font and its octagonal base (dim. 0.68m; H 0.23m) was moved in 1838 from the nave of the Cathedral (WA040-008002-) to the nearby, newly-built Church of Ireland church (WA040-008020-).
