Noake (1868) notes a Norman font in this church. The Builder (issue of 26 March 1870: 251) announces the imminent restoration of this church by Frederick Preedy, and reports a Norman font inside it. Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a baptismal font of the Norman period. Noted in Pevsner (1968) and in Brooks & Pevsner (2007). with decoration similar to the font at Suckley. The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland (1993), however, points out: "The only other font in Worcester to bear such deeply incised decoration is at Aston Somerville, 10 km to the S, although the motifs are different. Pevsner compares the present font with that at Suckley, but the lozenges on the latter are crudely chip- carved and asymmetrical, lacking the precision of the work at Middle Littleton."
