Harrison (1920) reports a 13th-century font in this church. Harrison (ibid.) reports also a holy-water stoup "outside chantry chapel (14th c.).
Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as one in a very large group of baptismal fonts that are plain octagonal with straightsided basins. Described in Whiteman (1994) as a 13th-century octagonal font attached to one of the pillars of the nave. The basin, which has a thick flat moulding at the upper rim, is otherwise plain and has a rounded underbowl; it is raised on an octagonal pedestal base and a splaying lower base of the same shape. The wooden cover is round and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; it appears Victorian.
