As part of a substantial re-ordering scheme the petitioners sought permission for the introduction of a moveable font. The church already contained two fonts: one mediaeval font, which was unused, and one Victorian font, which was to be relocated to the north aisle as part of the re-ordering. The chancellor raised two concerns: first, about the multiplicity of fonts within the church, and second that the new location for the Victorian font was not as near to the principal entrance as conveniently might be, as required by Canon F 1(2). The petitioners amended their proposals by withdrawing the application for the introduction of the moveable font and by seeking permission to remove the mediaeval font from the church for its burial within the churchyard. The petitioners provided justifications for the new location of the Victorian font, including the fact that the new location was more reverent and placed the font in direct line of vision upon entering the church. The chancellor granted the faculty, indicating that the mediaeval font could be left in the church as an item of historical interest, or buried in the churchyard, as the parish wished. The chancellor was satisfied that there were exceptional reasons for the Victorian font to be moved and that it would be set in as spacious and well-ordered surroundings as possible. [RA]
