St. Lukes, Ullingswick, Herefordshire - Font and West Window.

The lower part of the font is 13th century, the plain octagonal bowl was recut in the 15th century, and the cover is mid 19th century.

In the distance you can see the cables for the bell ringing.

There are five small bells, chimed from a clavier like those at Felton nearby:
Treble by Warner of London, 1877.
Second by Mears of London, 1853.
Third by Warner, 1863: this bell was added in memory of Prince Albert and bears his portrait.
Fourth by W B, a local founder known only by his initials, 1675.
Tenor by Abraham Rudhall I of Gloucester, 1700.
This miscellaneous collection of bells is much out of tune; a rhyme about them hangs on the west wall.
