Pevsner (1971) notes: "Font. An C18 baluster font." Richards (1973) describes and illustrates a late font: "A font of grey marble[...], possibly late eighteenth century work, having a lovely fluted bowl". [NB: the fabric of the present church dates from the late 14th or early 15th century, but we have no information on its early font].
