Noted in Newman (1976): "Font. by Butterfield." [i.e., William Butterfield (1814-1900), English architect and pioneer of high Victorian Gothic revival architecture, responsible for the enlargement of this church carried out between 1864 and 1866]. Kent Churches [www.kentchurches.info] [accessed 7 August 2006] notes "the angular font of Devonshire marble", referring also to the modern font here. [NB: the original fabric of the church goes back to Norman times, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) here]
