Described and illustrated in Thurlby (2006) as baptismal font contemporary with the late-12th century nave. The goblet-shaped font consists of a round basin plain except for a round moulding at either end, a chamfered undebowl and a squat cylindrical stem, both plain; raised on a small cicular plinth. The ill-fitting woden cover is octagonal and appears modern.
