Glynne (1877) notes a plain octagonal font in this church [for which he lacks a dedication]. Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, the underbowl decorated with a couple of thin mouldings; raised on a plain octagonal stem and a splaying lower base, also octagonal; on a rectangular plinth that appears modern. The woden cover, guilded and painted, is a medium-height dome with crocketed arrises and a floral finial, not unlike the one in nearby West Farleigh, which is said to the of the Perpendicular period.
