Allen (1839?) notes: ''the font, which stands in a pew in the middle aisle, consists of a circular basin, sustained upon a terminal column, ornamented with the peculiar panelling, characteristic of the works of the early part of the seventeenth century.'' [NB: we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]. There is a small wall-mounted stoup probably 15th-century.
