Baptism font in All Saints' church, Culmstock. Possibly contemporary with the church, so around 15th century. The font cover dates from 1920's, and is dedicated to Tertius Poole, a former vicar of the parish.

"Parish Church. C15 but built in more than one phase, some may be as late as early C16, renovated 1879. Local limestone rubble with larger more neatly dressed quoins; Hamstone and Beerstone ashlar detail; slate roof.

Plan: nave with clerestorey (an unusual feature for Devon), lower chancel, north and south aisles, west tower with semi-octagonal stair turret projecting from its south-east corner. South porch. Baptistry projecting from north aisle. C19 vestry on north side of chancel."
