There is an entry for this Barrow in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL7664/barrow/] [accessed 6 july 2015]; it mentions a church and church lands in it. Parker (1855) notes: "The font is P[erpendicular]; a panelled octagon". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) and Cautley (1982) as a heraldic baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The newly painted shields are on the sides of the basin, which is raised on an octagonal pedestal decorated with trefoil and quatrefoil tracery; the lower base is octagonal and moulded.
