Noted in Glynne's 2 April 1867 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font has a plain octagonal bowl, rounded at base, on a stem." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. The basin has damage at opposite sides of the upper rim, where the staples of the cover would have been; octagonal stem molded at both ends; splaying lower base. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid with a ball finial; looks 17th-18th century.
