Having said that I have to give it kudos for being open and the font is interesting.
ST JOHN BAPTIST. Norman round tower. Nave and chancel, the chancel Victorian. - FONT. Norman, of cauldron shape, with sharp angles and some decayed ornament.
ONEHOUSE. It is still a tiny place, though not quite true to its name. On Sundays its people walk along a lane, through a farmyard, and across a meadow to a little church in the fields. The round flint tower leans westward as though it were weary after standing upright for seven centuries. The nave is a century younger, the chancel a mere infant. There is a big 13th century font, an old chest, and a pew with a quaint but venerable animal as an elbow-rest. In the churchyard is the mossy base of the old preaching cross; and looking out from the sunny wall of the church is the old mass dial from the days before clocks.
