By William Airy, Vicar of Keysoe from 1836 to 1874
From: Illustrations of baptismal fonts, 1844
The book tells us that the font is unusual because it has an inscription from the same year as the font itself, about 1200 AD. The book gives the inscription as it would run in modern French:
Restez; qui par ici passerez
Pour l'me de Warel priez:
Que Dieu par sa grace
Vraie (or Voir) merci lui fasse. Amen
