The furnishings of this church are noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002) as "late C18 […] only the Perp[endicular]-style font seems a later addition." The baptismal font appears to be of the same period as the rest of the furnishings [NB: the fabric of the church is 12th-century, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
