XXIII. Observations on an antient Font at Burnham Deepdale, in Norfolk. By the Rev. Samuel Pegge, F. A. S. In a Letter to the Hon. Daines Barrington.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
As the Society of Antiquaries formerly thought proper to present to the public a print of the very elegant marble font in St. James's church, Westminster, and another of the famous Bridekirk font, to which many more of the like kind have been added by various authors; I beg leave to bring forward for your inspection and amusement, a drawing, which I believe to be very accurately made, by a young gentleman, of a most curious and singular antient laver, appearing now in the parish church of Burnham-Deepdale in Norfolk.
