The font consists of a smallish octagonal basin with plain tapering sides, raised on an octagonal-to-square stem with splaying lower base, and quadrangular plinth. Octagonal wooden cover, flat with large knob/ball finial. [NB: the fabric of the church is 13th-14th century but we have no information on the earlier font of this church]
