Noted in Parker (1855) under 'Keddington' as a handsome octagonal font of the Perpendicular period. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period also at 'Keddington', under the Sufflok listing [NB: modern use is "Kedington" -- there is an Index entry for Keddington for a baptismal font in "Keddington", near Louth, in Lincolnshire]. Illustrated in Knott (2007?) The font consists of an octagonal basin on the sides of which are large quatrefoils inscribing blank shields and floral motifs alternatively; at the lower end of the basin, on the corners, are human heads and floral motifs; the underbowl has piping at the angles that continues down the stem without the usual volume break and onto the splaying lower base; the stem sides have trefoiled arches or windows in between the piped angles; raised on an octagonal plinth, on which is carved a strange comb-like motif. The font is fairly bad shape, much worn and damaged, probably from exposure to the elements or, more likely, from being buried. The wooden cover has a flat octagonal platform with a Latin cross on a pedestal (?) on it; appears modern.
