Parker (1855) reports an octagonal font "with emblems of the Evangelists" in this church. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) and Cautley (1982) as a heraldic baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Illustrated in Knott (2008). The font consists of an octagonal basin decorated with angels holding charged shields alternating with gardant lions on the sides, a row of angel heads at the angle of the underbowl; if there was an underbowl chamfer is now gone, and gone is also the stem that would have had either lions, woodwooses, buttresses or a combination of those; as it stands not, all that is left of the base is the lower base portion with moulded sides. Wooden cover consisting of an octagonal base on which is a row of ball (or knob?) motifs, and a set of eight scroll ribs arranged around a centre pivot with ball finial; appears Victorian. [NB: Parker (185) makes the mistake of taken the seated lion on the basin of several Suffolk fonts as one of the symbols of the Evangelists; perhaps this may be due to his having access only to partial illustrations of the fonts concerned].
