The undecorated sandstone font from Follistown (ME025-027002-) was moved to Johnstown Roman Catholic church, c. 3km to the W, in 1852 (Cogan 1862-70, 2, 241) where it is set up outside the door. It is octagonal (ext. dim. 0.65-0.67m; H 0.5m) with a circular basin (diam. 0.51m; D 0.2m) and chamfered under-panels. It sits uncomfortably on an octagonal stem (H 0.38m) that narrows slightly at the waist where there is a horizontal moulded rib (Wth 0.05m). The stem is limestone and might not belong with the basin (Roe 1968, 119-21). The apostle font from Kilcarne is inside the church (ME025-041----), and a pier (ME025-041002-) from the cloister arcade at Bective abbey (ME031-026----) is displayed on the outside of the church tower.
