Described and illustrated in Buck (1951) as a tub-shaped font of ca. 1842, its "design probably based on that of the Norman font in Hereford Cathedral", decorated with twelve Apostles under an arcade of round arches. Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975): "Font. […] imitation Norman. Large, round, with the twelve apostles under arches." [NB: parish registers start in the 1840s, and we have no record of an earlier church here].
