Hussey (1852) writes: "The font is octagon, perhaps E[arly] E[nglish], and is engaged in the north wall of the church, evidently from a very early period." Harrison (1920) notes the church fabric originally from the Transitional period, and adds : "Restored in 1892 [...] The octagonal (14th c.) font was built into S[outh] wall at the restoration." Whiteman (1994), however, has: "The 14th-century octagonal font was built into the S wall in the 19th century". About hald of the embedded font protrudes out of the south wall.
