Harrison (1920), who does not mention the font, reports a defaced stoup in this restored church. 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 being "octagonal in bowl, stam and base". Noted and illustrated in the Roughwood British Churches Album [www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Iden/IdenAllSaints2005.htm]: "Just inside the south door is a holy water stoup set into the wall behind the door. Just inside the door is the stone font, its appearance not hugely improved by the plastic Ichthus fish stuck on the front; the upper basin area has been much repaired. The nicely carved cover is modern and was made and donated by N H J Payne in 2005." The font and stoup are both located no the south side of the nave. near the south entranceway
