Scope and Content View of late medieval font inside All Saints' Episcopal Church, Inveraray, Argyll and Bute All Saints' Episcopal Church was built in 1866 to the designs of Wardrop & Anderson, architects, Edinburgh. Amelia, Duchess of Argyll, paid for the church. There is a detached bell-tower a few metres to the south-west, which was built in 1923-32. This octagonal font, on a modern pedestal, is probably of late medieval date. It contains a basin which incorporates a metal-lined drain-hole. The font was removed from Kilmalieu to Stronmagachan by the Rev Colin Smith, minister of Inveraray before 1843. The font was reputed to have belonged to Niven MacVicar, parson of Kilmalieu shortly after the Reformation (1560). In 1875 the font was given to an episcopal chapel which preceded All Saints' Church.
