Noted with an engraving in Suckling (1846-1848): "an extremely elegant font of stone, in excellent preservation." Suckling (ibid.) further notes that the first recorded rector of this parish was Adam de Kerndale, in 1318. Noted in Parker (1855) as a good Perpendicular font "standing on steps carved in the intervals". Knott (2007?) mentions "a fine medieval font" in this church. The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with roses and blank shields inscribed in ogee panels of quatrefoil. octafoil, etc., shape, all deeply carved; there are human heads at the angles of the underbowl chamfer, and rosettes on the sides between; below these, on the lower level of the chamfer, a graded moulding; the broad stem of the base has attached colonnettes decorated with moulded capitals and bases; the font is raised on a plinth with high-low alternate sides, the taller ones have motifs or symbols on the sides, one of them a cross in a traceried window; there is a lower plinth, also octagonal, but very low and plain. [NB: a modern (1891) copy [not identical] of the old font is reported at the Prudhoe Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St. Cuthbert [http://prudhoecatholics.co.uk/history2.htm] [accessed 20 January 2010]
