The Victoria County History (Bedford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The 13th-century chancel arch is the oldest part of the building [...] The font, which is in the south aisle, has an octagonal bowl panelled with quatrefoils, resting on an octagonal base with leaves carved on each side, and is of the 14th century." Octagonal mounted baptismal font; the basin is decorated with a large quatrefoil in a circle on each side;plain underbowl chamfer; the octagonal stem has a large square flower on each side; the wooden cover is octagonal and plain, perhaps 19th-century? [NB: there is at least one metal staple in the upper rim surface, but, uncharacteristically, two other staples appear on one of the vertical sides of the basin; these were not original and have caused the stone to crack horizontally; the basin well is lead lined with a central drainage hole.
