Noted in Glynne's 29 July 1867 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font is modern" [Glynne uses spelling "Hutton Buschell"]. Cox & Harvey (1907), however, list this as a baptismal font of the Early English period. [NB: C&H use the spelling "Hutton Bushel"]. Not listed in Pevsner (1985). The font consists of a plain octagonal basin [that is either a new font or may have been re-tooled] with chamfered upper and lower rims, raised on a columnar pedestal base made up of a central shaft and four attached outer colonnettes with moulded bases; round plinth with short 'priest's stone'; flat wooden cover decorated with metal reinforcements, modern.
