Architectural Features

NORMANC12

South porch entrance and south doorway in the Norman style, the doorway is much restored C12.

NORMAN

Plain neo-Norman chancel arch, plain boarded ceiling.

The unusual font may date from the 14th Century. Octagonal in form, it is roughly carved with tracery, figures, fish, a bridled horse and several abstract motifs. Some of the carvings are clearly late medieval, while others appear to be Romanesque. Most peculiar, however, is that several of the carvings appear to be upside-down! https://friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk/church/all-saints-ballidon-derbyshire/
