Detail view of a lead-lined font in St James Church, showing the wooden case made to resemble a pulpit with a canopy and doors
Detail of a lead-lined Renaissance font with wooden casing that resembles a pulpit. The font has three tiers, each of which are panelled. The lower tier has plain panels, while the middle tier has decorated panels, of which some hinge open to reveal to top of the font, however in the image they are closed. The top panels are also plain, but are topped with pinnacles. Above this is an open crown over and a large rectangular canopy. In the background is a chancel screen which crosses the church and was restored in 1880. Above this is an angel statuette on a wooden bar across the church. In the foreground are the ends of pews with Renaissance style carvings
