Full Description
HANFORD FARM (83941164), house, is a two-storied brick building of the late 18th or early 19th century. Until recent modernisation the symmetrical W. front was of three bays, with a central doorway with flanking sashed windows on the ground floor, and corresponding casement windows on the first floor. The bowl of a 13th-century octagonal stone Font formerly stood in a scullery at the back of the farmhouse but it is now in the garden. The sides are vertical for about half the depth of the bowl and splayed inwards below that level. Each side is decorated with a roll-mould at the top and with a recessed trefoil-headed panel below; each angle has a moulded capital which presumably corresponded with a
shaft worked on the stem, now missing. (2)
