Noted in Glynne's 27 July 1867 visit to this church (in Butler, 2007): "The font has a circular bowl on an octagon." Bulmer's Directory of 1892 notes: "The church of St. Andrew is an ancient structure, built of cobbles, with cut stone dressings, in the Early English style, on the site of an earlier edifice, supposed to have been erected before the Conquest […] The font is circular, and is believed to be coeval with the church". In Pevsner & Neave (1989): "Font. Circular on an octagonal base. Could it be Norman?". Bulmer's [cf. supra] dating is certainly way off the mark; the font, at least the basin, could be Norman or Late Norman/Transitional, but very unlikely pre-Conquest.
