Described in Lloyd et al. (2001: 266): "Font. Norman square bowl, scalloped underneath." Davies (2001): "Inside the church, by the West entrance door, we see a fine example of a Norman font. The base and cable are Norman but some parts are more modern. Note the Norman cabling around the column of the base and around the top of the pillar and basin." [source: Graham J.
