Besides the Decorated font in use in Humbleton St. Peter & St. Paul's, the church houses an old -medieval?- octagonal basin, probably brought in from an abandoned church of the vicinity, as there is no indication that the abandoned basin be any older than the one in use now. It is octagonal, with plain tapering sides and a flat underbowl with a centre drain hole. There is no base with it. [cf. Index entry for Humbleton No. 1 for the baptismal font of the Decoarted period still in use in this church].
