Wooden font cover in St Lawrence's church, Barton.
In 1896 the present church was built at a cost of £4438, designed by R. Knill Freeman of Bolton. Internal changes saw the installation and consecration of a new font and cover in 1962.
The font cover is fairly plain octagonal in shape, with quarterfoil piercings carved midway up each panel and a plain turned finial at the apex. A brass dedicatory plaque on the cover reads -
