Described in Glynne (1877): "The font has an octangular bowl panelled with shields, beneath which is a slope; the stem is octagonal and ribbed at the angles." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Noted in Newman (1980): "Font. This is a genuine Late Perp[endicular] piece. The usual thing: octagonal, concave-sided bowl, with fleurs-de-lys, Tudor roses, and a flower." The Kent Archaeological Society web site [www.kentarchaeological.org.uk] has an ink drawing dated ca. 1800 [ref. no. KD2-063] that shows an octagonal basin of slightly concave panels, with a plain underbowl chamfer, raised on a plain stem and a moulded lower base, both octagonal as well. The panels of the basin sides are illustrated in an unfolded plan: 1)blank; 2)flower, square; 3)shield with Latin cross emblem; 4)flower, Tudor rose; 5)shield with Latin cross emblem; 6)fleur-de-lis; 7)shield. emblem unidentified; 8)flower, pentagonal.
