Mee (1945) writes: "14th century font with eight arches, each arch having below it a recess decorated with window tracery." Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. C14. Octagonal, on eight supports not set back. The spaces between the supports form recesses, and the decoration of the bowl is their ogee gables." Wooden font cover, modern, a stylised version of the old Jacobean eight-ribs-around-on-a-flat-base theme. Listed and illustrated in The Digital Atlas of England web site [www.viewbuildings.com]
