Baptismal font described in Glynne (1877): "The font is of lead, and of octagonal form, upon a circular base" [NB: Glynne does not specify the material of the base]. Reported in Bond (1908) as a lead font discarded from this church "in the 'restoration' of 1878". The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: TR2662266612] notes: "Parish Church. C12, enlarged c.1200, remodelled early C14 and C15, restored 1876"; the detailed description mentions no font at all.
