A 19th century beerstone baptism font in St Michael's church, Farway. A square beerstone bowl with marble corner shafts.
"St Michael and All Angels was built in the Norman period, then enlarged in the 14th century, with a west tower added in the 15th century. A north aisle was added in 1628, then the entire church was rebuilt in 1877. The first record of a rector comes from 1340 but there was a church here for several centuries before then. The oldest part of the church is the 12th-century arcade."
