Described in Parker (1855): "Font, E[arly] E[nglish]; an octagon, with slightly sunk panels in the bowl". The Historic Churches Preservation Trust mentions an octagonal baptismal font dating from the 13th century and made from 'Purbeck marble' in this church [source: 'Recent Grants' issue of the Grants Cttee. Meeting of 22 June 2004, www.historicchurches.org.uk]. Noted and illustrated in Knott (2008). The octagonal basin has been re-cut, especially the underbowl area, obviously to match the later pedestal base [NB: the octagonal plinth has an inscription on the chamfer -- text not available]. The wooden cover is a varian of the old Jacobean design, but uses round parts instead of the traditional scrolls; appears modern.
