In The Dorset Historic Churches Trust [http://dorsethistoricchurchestrust.co.uk/little_bredy.htm]. The font resembles somewhat those of the Decorated style, but it is definitely Victorian, probably from the 1850s rebuilding of this church [NB: parts of the church go back to the 13th-14th century, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
