Noted in Parker (1855) as a a good Perpendicular font, "an octagon and very rich; the cover is plain but well carved". Listed in Cox (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period/style. Described and illustrated in Knott (2006): "The font, reset by the Victorians in the westward extension of the south aisle, is a typical East Anglian rural 15th century font, with angels on the bowl and lions and wild men around the stem". The sides of the basin alternate angels holding charged shields (?), and the symbols of the four Evangelists on alternate sides; cherub heads at the underbowl angles, with a crenellated band, and a third level with floral motifs below; woodwoses and seated lions alternate on the sides of the pedestal base; much worn and damaged, probably by the iconoclast hands of the Reformation. The font is raised on a three-step plinth with decorated sides, probably of the 19th century. Octagonal pyramidal wooden cover with crocketed arrises; 17th-century?. Two sets of initials appear carved on the frame of one of the basin sides, on the lower surface; the local verger (?). John Andreason, informs that they are the initials of Fitz Semple and John Keble, who restored (?) the font in 1662.
