The only item (apart from the plate) to survivie from the previous church. A large plain bowl of egg-cup shape on a later base with foliage spurs at the anglse; so featureless as to be difficult to date, but probably quite early, and possibly even Saxon.
The flat oak cover with an iron cross is of 1911. Other details: PM 1757.
