At Little Billing, Northamptonshire,--

"Wilberthus artifex atq; cementarius hunc fabricavit, quisquis suum

venit mergere corpus procul dubio capit."

J. P., Jun.

To the list of these should be added the early English font at Keysoe,

Beds., noticed in the _Ecclesiologist_, vol. i. p. 124., and figured in Van

Voorst's _Baptismal Fonts_. It bears the legend in Norman French:

+ "Trestui: ke par hiei passerui

Pur le alme Warel prieui:

Ke Deu par sa grace

Verrey merci li face. A[=m]."

{626} Or, in modern French:

"Restez: qui par ici passerez

Pour l'ame de Warel priez:

Que Dieu par sa grace

Vraie merci lui fasse. Amen."
