Described in Parker (1855): "Font, D[ecorated], of very excellent design; the bowl is an octagon, with three-foil panels, over which are angular crocketed canopies." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a noteworthy example of 14th-century fonts. Noted in Cautley (1982) as a baptismal font of the 14th century; fonts of this type in the county at Brettenham, Chelsworth, Walsham-le-Willows, as well as the best fonts of the period at Hemingstone, Kessingland, Wortham, Wickham Market and Rattesden. Illustrated in Knott (2008). The plain pedestal base does not seem to stand up to the complex decoration of the basin and may be a later replacement.
