Noted in Kelly's Directory of 1881: "the font is Norman". Described in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Cox (1912) notes two fonts: a modern one, "Strange modern font, perfect medley of styles", and an earlier disused "old Norm[an] tub font recently discarded and put away in N.W. corner of nave, where it rests." In Guilford (1927) as a "quite plain" Norman font. Described and illustrated in the Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland (2008): "The font is slightly uneven in shape as one side (the E as it is currently positioned) tapers out slightly from the base. The lip is everted and has been repaired. The interior is lead lined." Not mentioned in Pevsner & Williamson (1979).
