Described in Mee (1945): "The font is from the Norman church and has deep bands of carving". Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. Square, Norman, with decoration of square, saltire crosses, etc." The square basin has vertical sides and a column with capital and base at each angle; the sides themselves decorated with a variety of motifs, those mentioned in Pevsner [cf. supra] plus chevron and radiated patterns; short and plain chamfered underbowl; the base is obviously a modern arrangement of blocks forming a square pedestal.
