Illustrated in a drawing by Henry E.L. Dryden, now in the Sir Henry Dryden Collection, Northamptonshire. Noted in Mee (1945): "The Norman font is arcaded and has a cable coil round it". Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Circular, Norman, with intersected arches". Described and illustrated in The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland (2008): "The bowl is a slightly convex tub, distinctly oval in plan, and decorated with 16 bays of intersecting round-headed arcading in low relief. The shafts are flat without bases, capitals are depicted as multi-fluted, and the arch profiles are flat. Above the arcade is a double-roll rim, the lower roll carved with cable ornament. The bowl stands on a short drum with an angle roll, and this on another of the same design but bigger, and this on a step. The bowl is unlined and the rim much repaired", with date in the 12th century.
