Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "In the N chapel octagonal fragments reassembled from a Perp[endicular] font. Foot with leaf motifs." The remaining composite object looks very awkward, its awkwardness highlighted by the large ogee arch in the wall against which it has been set [NB: the church also has a later [Victorian?] font of fairly traditional design].
