Noted in Parker (1855) as a font of the Perpendicular period. Described and illustrated in Knott (2008): "the font is a good late-medieval one, with a pleasing cover." The font consists of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with a blank shield inscribed in a cusped quatrefoil on each panel, a tall plain chamfer, raised on a plain octagonal stem and splaying lower base, all octagonal. Octagonal wooden cover consisting of a flat base from which stem eight sector ribs that converge at the foot of a short Latin-cross finial.
