Described in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Early English period. The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "There was a priest on the King's fee in Polebrook in 1086 [...] Late in the 12th century the north aisle was added to the nave, and a transeptal chapel constructed on this side [...] The octagonal font is of the later part of the 13th century with trefoiled panels, circular pedestal, and shafts with moulded capitals and bases supporting the bowl." In Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Octagonal, with flat pointed-trefoiled arches; c.1300." [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11th-century church here].
