Neame (1993): "the Norman font [...] seems to have been turfed out in favour of a newer font presented by the Malmains family who held land in the area during the C.13. Their arms appeared on the new one and also in one of the stained glass windows: 'Gu. 3 dexter hands ar. a crescent at fesse point' [...] The Malmains armorial font has disappeared". [cf.
