Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Solid C14 font; deep octagonal bowl (retaining a little of Parry's painting), on short octagonal shaft" [NB: "Parry's painting" referes to Thomas Gambier Parry, who painted the interior of the church in 1870]. The sides of the tall basin are plain; the base is entirely modern, as is probably the wooden cover.
