Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907) as a Restoration baptismal font dated 1662. Described in Cox (1912): "Octagonal font 14th cent.; it bears initials T.S., M.D., on four of its panels, and figures 166. on other 4; the eighth face against the wall. Initials C.W. for churchwardens, cut on the old base. All this was cut when old font was recovered after Puritan ejection." Guilford (1927) gives the date as 1663. Pevsner & Williamson noted is a cognate of the fonts at East Bridgford, Newark, Orston, Scarrington, Shelford, Sibthorpe, Tythby, Walkeringham and Warton, all in Notinghamshire, but include the following footnote: "It coul be a re-carved medieval font, according to Professor Barley."
