The National Monuments Service's description
Within the medieval C of I church of St Lachtain (KK013-023001-), Freshford, in the SW corner, there is a limestone font, 'possibly late medieval' in date (Quinlan and Foley 2004, 17)). The upper third portion of the font is square, while the angles of the lower two-thirds portion have been deeply chamfered, in effect forming an octagonal plinth. It rests on a modern octagonal base.
