This late medieval font at St Peter’s, Market Bosworth, is an octagonal Gothic bowl enriched with tracery panels, each face carved as a miniature architectural niche. The canopies are formed with cusped arches, slender colonnettes, and pinnacled gablets, creating a continuous band of canopy-work around the bowl. Much of the original detail is worn or partly broken, but the underlying design remains legible: each panel once framed a figure or painted subject now lost.

The bowl stands on an octagonal stem composed of clustered shafts, their moulded bases and capitals echoing the vertical articulation of the bowl above. These shafts descend into a tiered octagonal plinth set upon a larger square base. The stepped arrangement and miniature buttressing give the font the appearance of a fragment of church architecture rendered in miniature.

Although damaged—particularly around the upper tracery—the font retains its structural clarity and is a notable example of late 14th–early 15th-century Decorated–Perpendicular transition work. Its architectural ambition marks it out as one of the more elaborate medieval fonts in Leicestershire.

The present metal-and-wood cover is modern.
