Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period with heraldic ornamentation. Harrison (1920) writes: "The font, Perp[endicular], has a Pelham buckle on it". Drummond-Roberts (1935) notes the badge of Sir John Pelham on the font. Described in Whiteman (1994): "The Perpendicular octagonal font has the Pelham buckle carved on two of its concave sides". Noted and illustrated in the Roughwood British Churches Album [www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Burwash/BurwashStBartholomew2004.htm] [accessed 20 February 2010]: "The font is octagonal with invected sides (i.e. with a border line of small convex curves). The Pelham family left its mark in Burwash - the font has the "buckle" carved upon it. At the battle of Poitiers, September 19th 1356, John de Pelham seized the French King John by the buckle of his sword belt and the king surrendered his sword to him. In honour of this King Edward III bestowed a buckle to him as a crest. The font itself is likely to be post-reformation." [NB: a miniature font [aka 'portable' font] of octagonal shape exists in this church]
