Font, Church of St Andrew, Bere Ferrers
"The girdle tub font is circa late Norman built of Hurdwick stone. The girdle is low set and decorated with nail-head ornament. Above are 4 projecting volutes one of which has broken; below is a leaf ornament" LinkExternal link ; the church is grade I listed. David Ross LinkExternal link also describes it thoroughly and writes: "at first glance I thought the font was an up-ended tree trunk!" I fear this is rather blurred; I should have tried flash.
