Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Perpendicular period. Harrison (1920) reports the base of the font here as Perpendicular, but says nothing about the rest of it. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 7, 1940) notes: "The tithes of Portslade were confirmed to the priory of Lewes by Ralph, Bishop of Chichester (1091–1123), [...] and the church was confirmed to them by Bishop Seffrid II about 1187. [...] the nave and south aisle are of the late 12th century [...] The font is plain, and of 15thcentury origin, but the bowl has been renewed. It is octagonal, with foliated panels to the shaft and a spreading base of simple form. [NB: we have no information on the font from the earlier church here].
