Noted and illustrated in Glynne (1885). In the inventory of the RCAHM (1911): "The font has been described as pre-Norman, but is more likely late un the Norman style." Listed in Tyrrell-Green (1928) as a Norman font the basin of which is decorated with an "arcade in relief, imitating closely the structural arcade of the period". The CPAT Montgomery Churches Survey [www.cpat.demon.co.uk] [accessed 31 December 2006] notes that the baptismal font belongs to the Norman re-building of the original edifice [NB: this same source mentions that the records of a visit by Glynne [ca. 1885?] noted and illustrated the font]. Noted and illustrated in Thurlby (2006): "from the twelfth century is the partly recut cylindrical font [...] It is articulated with twelve segmental arches with two roll-moulded orders that sit on 'Doric' capitals and half-columns that are joined with inverted segmental arches at the bottom." The underbowl is plain and the base is a squat cylindrical stem. Plain round wooden cover, appears modern.
