Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Octagonal; a beautiful Perp[endicular] example. The bowl has quatrefoils and the chamfer flowers, a shield and an angel; stem with trefoil-headed panels." [NB: according to John Wilkes the south doorway of this church is Norman but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
