Harrison (1920) writes: "St. Nicholas. Restored in 1847-52. This interesting church was originally Nor[man], but has been altered and enlarged at different periods"; Harrison does not mention a font in it. The present modern font is noted and illustrated in the Oxfordshire Church Illustrations [http://flickr.com/photos/oxfordshire_church_photos/543577588/] [accessed 22 July 2007]: "The font decorated with oak leaves is Victorian and is attributed to Judges Limited". It is likely dated to the mid-1800s restoration by Teulon, in a neo-Early English style. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church]
