Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. From the former church. A good Perp[endicular] example, octagonal, with quatrefoils with floral centres, more flowers on the chamfers, and an arcaded plinth with trefoil-headed panels. Font cover. Neo-Jacobean, c. 1925." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin raised on an octagonal pedestal base; the font is decorated in the Perpendicular style: quatrefoil panels with inscribed rosettes on the sides of the basin; floral motifs on the underbowl chamfer; Gothic arches or niches on the sides of the pedestal base [NB: the detail on the basin is suspiciously neat and sharp, perhaps the indication of later re-tooling]. The wooden cover has the scrolled ribs of the Jacobean style, but it is modern.
