Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the 15th century. Described in Newman (2000) as a "splendid Per[pendicular] piece, though sadly worn. Octagonal bowl, boldly moulded top and bottom, with paired quatrefoils on the faces. Slender octagonal stem linked to free-standing angle buttresses by means of miniature fliers, a perverse idea." The font has a heavy domed wooden cover with a carved surface; appears modern.
