Pevsner (1967) writes: "Font. The C14-looking font is not ancient, though the base seems to be." Noted in English Heritage [Listing NGR: NY4875126365] (1968): "C13 or C14 font, octagonal bowl splayed out from base, moulded angles", the church itself dated 12th-century for nave and tower. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original mid-12th century church here].
