The National Monuments Service's description
In centre of Crosserdree graveyard (WM013-053001-) are the remains of a poorly preserved ivy-covered church ruins (WM013-053----). A fragment of a broken medieval font is partially visible embedded into the soil in the centre of the church located 2.2m N of the S wall and 5m E of the W wall. The limestone font (H 0.38m; ext. diam. 0.66m; T 0.11-0.15m) consisted of a circular shaped vessel with slightly tapering sides, of which only half now survives. The basin (diam. 0.46-0.35m; D 0.29m) has a central drain hole.
