by Mike Jakobson.

The moving, historical tale of how four determined men travelled to deepest Hereford to recover an ancient Norman Font and return it to its home in Chardstock...
When Chardstock St. Andrew's Church was rebuilt in 1863/64, the Norman font was replaced by a new one, and the Norman font was then sent for use at St. Denis Chapel, Harewood End, Hereford. It was later moved from there to St. Francis of Assisi Church on the outskirts of Hereford, now closed, and was eventually tracked down by a local historian. Four members of the Chardstock Historical Record Group travelled there in February 2010 to bring it home.
