Described and illustrated in Orrin (1988): "The font of Sutton stone has a round bowl with a pointed arcade on the underside. The stem is octagonal with stool stops dying on to a square base which stands on a hexagonal plinth. In 1869 Sir Stephen Glynne described it as being 'new in the Norman style' but it is more likely to be Early English in style." Described in Newman (1995) as a tub-shaped font "with a crude pattern of semicircles and bars on its underside" and mounted on an octagonal stem, probably dating from the 13th century. In Rees (2003).
