Illustrated in Eyton (1859- ) with a drawing by Rev. J. Brooke, reproduced also in Anderson (1864). Square basin with the upper angles cut; trumpet scallops on the underbowl; on a square lower base. Timmins (1899) notes: "The font looks very primitive and ancient." Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. In Newman & Pevsner (2006): "C12. Round, in a square deeply chamfered and scalloped block." The font cover is quadrangular and flat, with corners made to match the cut angles of the font; four low raised ribs around a taller turned central pivot.
