Font. Dated 1742. Ashlar. Squared baluster font with octagonal plinth set on late C18-early C19 tomb slab. The bowl is inscribed on three sides 'W Grimshaw/ A B Minister/AD 1742' and on the top 'I indeed have bapt.d/you with water/but He shall bap/tize you with/THE HOLY GHOST'. William Grimshaw (1708-1763) came to Haworth in 1742 as perpetual curate and, having encouraged the growth of Methodism in Haworth, was instrumental in building the Methodist Chapel in 1758.
