Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): Font. Designedand probably executed in 1840 by Perkins [I.e., Benjamin Perkins, Vicar of Wotton between 1829 and 1881]; with its wealth of small detail, it is more suitable to bonze than stone". [NB:nearby Leighterton has a font that is claimed to be the original late-14th century font of this church]
