Cox (1912) reports a "small circular font" of the Norman period in this church. Noted in Pevsner (1970): "Font. The plainest Norman cup design." Described in GENUKI as "very plain and [...] from Norman times" [source: www.genuki.org.uk]. Described and illustrated in the Parish web site [www.stmawgan.org.uk]: "Norman font on a stone step. It is of the plainest design with a circular bowl on a single cylindrical stem. The font cover belonged to 205 Squadron [RAF] and was given to the church in 1971 when 205 Squadron disbanded in Singapore."
