Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Plain, C15 octagonal bowl, reputedly cut down from a Norman tub." The font is now a strange-looking object with scars on the sides and a double flat moulding on the upper basin sides; the base, cruciform-to-square, equally at odds. Flat octagonal cover; modern?
