Together with everything else inside the church, the font dates from 1861 shortly after a major restoration had taken place. It is made of Caen stone and was presented to St. Peters by Revd J A Gould.

BELL CLAPPERS

In 1956 the peal of 6 bells were removed from the tower and sent to Taylors foundry for recasting/retuning. At the same time the wooden bell frame was replaced by a wooden one. The old bell clappers seen here are mounted on timber from the old frame.
