Kiddington, Oxon.:
"This sacred Font Saint Edward first receaved,
From womb to grace, from grace to glory went
His virtuous life. To this fayre isle beqveth'd.
Prase ... and to vs bvt lent.
Let this remaine the trophies of his fame;
A King baptized from hence a Saint became.
"This Fonte came from the King's Chapell in Islip."
Newark, round the base in black letter:
"Suis . Natis . sunt . Deo . hoc . Fonte . Renati . erunt."
On a pillar adjoining the font is a brass tablet with this inscription:
"This Font was demolished by the Rebels, May 9, 1646, and rebuilt by
the charity of Nicholas Ridley in 1660."
Kirton, Lincoln:
"Orate pro aia Alauni Burton qui fontem istum fieri fec. A.D. MCCCCV."
Clee, Lincoln:
"The Font is formed of two cylindrical parts, one placed upon the
other, over which, in the shaft of the circular column, is inlaid a
small piece of marble, with a Latin inscription in Saxon characters,
referring to the time of King Richard, and stating it was dedicated to
the Holy Trinity and St. Mary, by Hugh Bishop of Lincoln, A.D. 1192."
