Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907: 215) as a baptismal font of the Norman period [C&H's dating of this font to the Norman period is probably over-reaching]. Described and illustrated in the inventory of Herefordshire (1931-1934, vol. III: 215 and pl. pl. 57): "Font[...]: octagonal bowl with splayed lower part having segmental moulded arches and small shafts cut on the angles, probably 13th-century, stem and base modern" [the date here probably more reasonable than in C&H]. The flat plain wooden cover appears modern.
