Noted in Suckling (1846-1848): "The font is octangular, and bears the arms of Mowbray and Bigot." Suckling (ibid.) also notes: "The advowson of St. John's Church was conveyed in the year 1267, by Sir James de Ilketshall, with one acre of land, which he held of Robert de Meynwaryn, to the Prioress of Bungay", although the first recorded rector of St. John's is given as "Sim. De Birston", in 1301. In Parker (1855) after Suckling. Illustrated in Knott (2008). The octagonal basin has large floral motifs [including a Tudor rose] alternating with hanging blank shields, the frames decorated with tiny rosettes, much like the basin at nearby Ellough; unlike the latter, this font retains its original pedestal base with its seated lions and buttresses, which the former probably had originally. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, box-like, with metal decoration and ring handle; 19th-century? [NB: the font, as it appears now [July 2008] has blank shields, which may have been re-carved]. The font is similar, though not identical, to the others in this group of Ilketshall churches [cf. corresponding entries in the Index]
