Noted in Suckling (1846-1848): "The font is octangular, with eight plain shields." Suckling (ibid.) also notes the first recorded vicar of St. Andrew, William Atte Welle de Dychingham, in 1327. In Parker (1855), probably after Suckling. Illustrated in Knott (2008). The octagonal basin has eight blank shields inscribed in quatrefoil-in-a-circle-in-a-square panels, with a band of crenellation below; the base is an odd one for this type of font, a cluster of columns with trefoil and quatrefoil motifs between them, and moulded capitals and bases. The wooden cover is octagonal, an octagonal platform with straight ribs converging on a Latin cross finial; appears modern.
