Described and/or illustrated in Simpson (1828), Britton (1838), Paley (1844), Bond (1908), Tyrrell-Green (1928), Mee (1945) and Hutton (1957) as an Early English baptismal font; the basin has vertical, practically cylindrical sides on which the rosettes and foliage ornamentation that looks like "applique" emphasise the octagonal shape; both the upper and lower rims of the basin are octagonal, but the sides are cylindrical. The base, also octagonal, has been carved out to leave an arcade of trefoil arches behind which is the main shaft of the base. The whole stands on a square plinth that seems too small for the base of the font. The wooden font cover is of medium height [2-3 ft.?], in the shape of an octagonal pyramid with crocket ornamentation in the arris and a figural finial (child angel?). The font is noted in Pevsner (1968) as 13th-century. Listed and illustrated in The Digital Atlas of England web site [www.viewbuildings.com] [We are grateful to David Digi for the image of this font]
