Described in Newman (1995) as a "plain octagonal tub on a square base". Newman has the 14th century tentative dating followed by a question mark. [NB: Orrin (1988) does not mention the font but mentions a niche opposite the south door with a holy-water stoup in it, perhaps of 1674, the date carved on the niche]
