The church of Preshute, largely rebuilt, but preserving its Norman pillars, has a curious piscina, and a black basalt font of great size dating from 1100-1150, in which according to a very old tradition King John was baptized.
Several remains of reservoirs exist; one very large one is now called Piscina di Cardito.
In the inner apartment the principal object was the baptismal font (KoXv Ai * pa, or piscina), in which those to be baptized were immersed thrice.
She cradled her son in the piscina and lived on charity.
Within are an ancient font, a canopied piscina, and a fine timber roof over the nave and aisles.
