Wade & Wade (1929) report a Norman font in this church. Baptismal font consisting of a cylindrical basin with rounded underbowl; all plain; raised on a plain cylindrical stem and a moulded lower base, one of the two mouldings a cable moulding. The font appears to have been re-tooled; there is a brass (?) metal ring around the upper sides of the basin, probably for reinforcement. The wooden cover is plain, flat and round; modern. Not mentioned in Pevsner (1958).
