Baptism Font, St John the Baptist - Lustleigh, Devon - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

Norman font, plain bowl supported in the centre by a thick, cable-
noulded shaft and on its perimeter by 6 later black marble columns.

"The oval shape of the churchyard suggests that a Romano-British burial ground may have first occupied this site. This conjecture is supported by the presence of Datuidoc's Stone in the north aisle (originally in the porch), dating from around AD 550-600.

The first part of the church, including the basic rectangle and the south porch, was built around 1250. The south chapel was added in the early 14th century by the Lord of the Manor, Sir William le Prouse. The church tower was built in the late 14th century. In the 15th century the north aisle was built, including removal of the north wall and replacing it with pillars."
