Font, St Martin's church, Ancaster
Dating from 11th C. onwards, and restored in 1713 and again in 19th C. The church could have evolved from a cruciform Saxon church, maybe of minster status. It has north and south aisles, nave, chancel and 14th C. west tower with spire. The nave has 15th C. clerestory windows and embattled parapet with pinnacles and gargoyles.
The east end of the chancel dates from 12th C. The font is 12th C. lead lined tub, with blank arcading decoration.
In the 13th C. south porch (rebuilt) there are 14th C effigies of robed priests.
The Norman north arcade is of 4 bays, the south arcade is 3 bays. Tall 14th C. tower arch.
The tower was restored in 1912.
