Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. C12. A simple tub shape." The plain tub-shaped font appears to have been broken up into several pieces and then put back together in a crude repair. The wooden cover is round, flat and plain; appears modern. The font is located at the west end of the nave.
