Noted in Parker (1855): "The font is N[orman], large and massive." Listed in Cox-Harvey (1907) as a stone baptismal font of the Norman period. Illustrated in Knott [www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/tuddmary.htm] [accessed 13 March 2007], who points out the mismatched base on which the old basin stands. The basin appears to have been recut to the taste of later designs, with chamfering ar the upper rim and at the angles; this may have been doner at the time the font was 'prepared' for the new base. Wooden cover with four-buttress-like ribs at 90-degree angles, the ribs crocketed, with an orb-and-cross finial; much later than the font; could be contemporary of the base.
