Illustrated in Daubeny (1921). Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font, c.1200, the bowl ornamented in low relief with vigorous three-lobed foliage." This same sourcesuggest this font may have influenced that at nearby Duntisbourne Rouse. Baptismal font probably of the late Norman/Transitional period; the basin is cylindrical with tapering sides decorated with nicely-rendered trefoil foliage motif; plain chamfered underbowl with roll moulding at bottom; raised on a plain pedestal and a moulded lower base, both circular. Wooden font cover, flat and round, with metal decorations and ring handle.
