Bogg (1902) reports a baptismal font in this church, a building which he describes as having been "erected in the thirteenth century as a private chapel to Lead Hall" [NB: the Hall no longer exists]. Mee (1941) notes: "the font looks crude enough to be Norman." The 1967 listing notes in English Heritage read: "Medieval font with square base widening to circular rim." The chapel is said to have been built on the site of a much earlier church.
