Baptismal font consisting of a plain octagonal basin with a chamfered underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a moulded lower base' narrow polygonal plinth with priest's stone extension. It all appears to be of the mid- or late-19th century; the basin is badly cracked. Bulmer's Directory of 1892 informs: "Below the west window, on enamelled tiles, is the following inscription :- 'This church, of St. Peter, was opened for public worship by William, Archbishop of York, June 25th, A.D. 1871, having been rebuilt on the site of a former very ancient one which, through age and decay, had become unfitted for the service of God, by Emma Louisa Catherine Slingsby, of Scriven, and her husband, Thomas Slingsby.'" [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church].
