Font
Originally from the St John Commandery Church of Hogshaw in Buckinghamshire, this font basin was removed from the Church to the garden of nearby Fulbrook Farm. The basin was later gifted to the Order by Corpus Christi College, the landlord of the farm. Lord Mottistone designed the pedestal to enable the display and use of the basin in the crypt of the Priory Church.
