Described in Mee (1945): "The font is carved on its eight sides with double roses, and from each rose hangs a big leaf, each one different. It is medieval." Noted in Pevsner (1968): "Font. Octagonal, probably of the 1660s, with panels each with a leaf and a rose." The Digital Atlas of England [www.viewbuildings.com] suggests that the font may be 14th-century, the motifs re-carved probably in the 17th century.
