This highly ornate Gothic Revival font was installed during John Gibson’s rebuilding of St Leonard’s (1851–3). Octagonal in plan, the bowl is enriched with dense tracery panels, foliate crocketing, and miniature gabled canopies. Slender colonnettes rise from the corners, supporting pierced and cusped arcading that gives the bowl the character of a small architectural shrine.

Beneath the bowl, the angled stem is supported at each face by a sculpted standing figure—angels or ecclesiastical attendants—each set within its own niche. Their upright posture and crisply folded drapery belong to the mid-19th-century Gothic Revival idiom, echoing medieval prototypes while retaining Victorian refinement.

The font stands on a multi-stage octagonal base, completing the architectural composition. Its rich detailing makes it one of the more elaborate Victorian fonts in Warwickshire, characteristic of the High Victorian decorative enthusiasm of Gibson’s work.
