No individual entry for this Downham found in the Domesday survey. Hartwell & Pevsner (2009) write: "Font. Octagonal, Late Perp[endicular], with shields, not in panels." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with a large shield on each (two of them charged, the rest blank) raised on a foliated underbowl chamfer, a plain octagonal stem and a moulded lower base, also octagonal; some of the shields on the basin sides are clearly charged, others may be too worn. Octagonal wooden cover with floral finial, an inscription on some of the sides; appears modern.
