A baptismal font is reported here in Tymms (1834). Anderson (1864) notes and illustrates a font in this church: "The font, which is low and circular, rests on four clustered massive shafts: its sides are enriched with quatrefoils, inscribed within circles." Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Norman period in this church. Newman & Pevsner (2006) note: "Circular and probably Norman, with a band of big quatrefoils on a rope moulding. Fat quatrilobe stem." [NB: the quatrefoils must be a later re-carving].
