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."
The above are extracts from books, not copied by me from the fonts.

At Threckingham, Lincolnshire, round the base of the font—
"Ave Maria gratis . p . d . t."
