Sheahan & Whellan (1857) report ''an acient circular font'' under a samll gallery at the west end of the nave. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. In Pevsner & Neave (1995): ''C12 circular with four carved heads on the base. It has an C18 conical cover.'' The Norman baptismal font has been covered in a thick coat of whitewash which now obscures the ornamentation on it; there is a moulding at the upper rim, one side of which shows significant damage consistent with the removal of the iron staple(s) of the old cover; a roll moulding adorn the top of the lower base, and there are four human heads -all distinct- at 90-degree anfles of this section on the slightly convex sides. The basin well is unlined but, at the time of the photographs attached to this record [July 2004] it contained a miniature model of an octagonal mounted baptismal font that looks like a Victorian rendering of a 14th-century font [cf. Images area]. The font is covered with a tall wooden conical lid adorned with a ball finial.
