Click to view
Two fonts are noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002), the later of which: "a C17 stone font, vase-shaped, with acanthus-carved pedestal." The object consisting of a round moulded basin raised on a round baluster-type stem is probably a baptismal font, though it could be a holy-water stoup as well, or function as one.
