Described in Parker (1855): "Font, very good D[ecorated]; an octagon, with trefoils on the bowl, and angular canopies, crocketed." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a font of the Decorated period. Noted in Cautley (1982) as a baptismal font of the 14th century; fonts of this type in the county at Brettenham, Buxhall, Walsham-le-Willows, as well as the best fonts of the period at Hemingstone, Kessingland, Wortham, Wickham Market and Rattesden. Illustrated in Knott (2004?) The basin is covered in crocketed tracery and the underbowl is moulded; the octagonal stem has charged shields, although they are now too eroded for identification [NB: a 1851 drawing by Fred Russell shows two of the shields charged with St. Peter's keys crossed, one other with a bishop's mitre]; the lower base is octagonal and moulded. Unknown whether the tall pyramidal wooden font cover is original with major restoration or Victorian.
