Pevsner (1952) notes: "Font. Big, octagonal, Perp with tracery, quatrefoil, etc., patterns." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SS5616323600] notes: "Parish church. Probably C13 in origin, C15 south aisle and porch; restoration of 1846, including the addition of the vestry, refurbishment of 1884, long-term restoration and repair programme in the 1970s and 1980s. [...] C15 font, unusually well-preserved and unaltered with an octagonal bowl, the faces carved alternately with trefoil-headed panels and quatrefoil, with an old lead lining." Noted and illustrated in http://sites.rootsweb.com/~ukdevon/YarnscombeTour.htm [accessed 31 January 2020]: "The 15th century font is octangonal in shape and retains its old lead lining. Four of the eight faces are carved with trefoils and quatrefoils".
