Glynne (1877) reports a new font in this church. Newman (1980) wonders if "R. Wheeler of Brenchley" supplied the sedilia and the font ca. 1867 as part of his restoration [NB: the church, though originally from the Norman period, was chiefly re-built in the 14th century; we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
