Noted in Betjeman (1958) as an 18th-century dark-grey marble font and wooden cover originally from York Minster. English Heritage (1976) [Building ID: 166216] notes: "The most notable items are a 17th-century font and 18th century font cover transferred here from York Minster in 1947. The font has a shallow, gadrooned circular bowl and is made, like the base, from Frosterley-type marble. The stem is of veined brown marble. The octagonal baroque cover has a central baluster with serpentine timber brackets carved with acanthus motifs, tapering up towards the figure of a dove". The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a ribbed pattern; baluster-type pedestal base in reddish marble decorated with mouldings. Octagonal wooden cover: octagonal platform with eight decorated ribs that meet below the dove finial.
