Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) note: "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], very plain." The font consists of an octagonal basin with a pair of trefoiled arches or windows on each side; the arch-heads are pointed on most of the arches but at least one pair is round; the slender pedestal base is also octagonal with a very thing trefoiled arch or window on each side; the lower base is also octagonal and moulded; there is an octagonal plinth that stands on a larger rectangular one, both plain. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle; it appears modern.
