Gt. Missenden - SS Peter & Paul - "Aylesbury" font The font in  SS Peter & Paul, Gt. Missenden is one of the 22 (or 23) so-called "Aylesbury" fonts (see shared description below). However the upper part of the font is entirely different from any of the other surviving examples. The main differences are that it is octagonal rather than circular; there is no ornamentation below the rim and thirdly there is no fluting on the bowl.
The base however is unmistakably of the "Aylesbury" type, as is the rope-like band between the base and cup.
