Noted in Bulmer's Directory of 1890: "The font is circular, resting on nine clustered columns." The inner well of the basin is lead-lined and has a central drain; the clustered columns of the base form a square shape, the colonnettes decorated with moulded capitals and bases; the wooden cover is probably from the same period of the font, the mid 19th century. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SE7339158108] notes: "Church. C13 and C15, much rebuilt 1878-81"; no font mentioned. [NB: we have no information about the previous font[s] in this church].
