No entry for Broughton Sulney found in the Domesday survey. Font here noted in Bond (1908). Guilford (1927) reports a late-Decorated basin of a font in this church. The octagonal basin has vertical sides decorated with window tracery; raised on an octagonal pedestal base with some mouldings, but this part appears modern, perhaps of the mid-19th century church restoration by Teulon. Flat octagonal font cover, also modern.
