Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], the bowl with quatrefoils or simple tracery." Baptismal font consisting af an octagonal basin with decorated sides, raised on an octagonal pedestal base. Unclear whether the font is 15th-century -in whole or in part- or it belongs to the 19th-century renovation of the church. The flat octagonal wooden cover appears modern [NB: it is likely that there had been an earlier font from the original church, dating back at least to the 13th century, but we have no information on the early font].
