Reported in Lewis' Dictionary of 1848: "octagonal stone font, on which are human faces and various devices not inelegantly sculptured [...] in excellent preservation." Noted in Glynne's 7 May 1862 visit to this church: "The font has an octagonal bowl on octagonal stem and round base. On the bowl are quatrefoils, on one side two heads, on another a fleur-de-lis." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Decorated Period. Pevsner (1986 c1967) writes: "Font. Polygonal. Probably Perp[endicular], in spite of two very elementary heads."
