Octagonal mounted font in the Decorative style dated in Paley (1844) to the early 14th century. The octagonal basin has each of the sides framed with a moulding and ornamented with tracery. The base is a single block of stone, made of central pillar with constructional colonnettes, mounted on a lower square base and a square plinth described by Paley (ibid.) as "a single step of stones rudely put together". Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a font of the Decorated period. Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Octagonal, with an assortment of window and other tracery patterns."
