Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Decorated period. Harrison (1920) notes a Perpendicular font here that is similar to those at Eastbourne and Jevington, "an elegant example of a purely local type". Described in Whiteman (1994): "The 14th-century square font has Perpendicular arches carved on its base". Richardson (1990) notes a baptismal bowl made of pewter by Edward Randall between 1695 and 1700. The Roughwood Church Album [www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Willingdon/WillingdonStMary2004.htm] [accessed 15 January 2013] notes: "The cover is from a design of Mr Randell Blacking in commemoration of Blanche Wells (1946)"
