"The second font, also octagonal and of heavy carved stone, is reputed to be the font from the consolidated ruin of St Marys' church, Colston Bassett (visit link) , which was replaced by the church of Saint John the Divine, and situated in the north chapel. It has eight shields carved in relief around the bowl and has a carved upper rim. The cover is flat, constructed in light oak with a simple matching wooden crucifix standing on top. Each side of this font is the section of a capital or base to an ancient column that are converted into seating."
