Described and illustrated in Buck (1951): "This font is octagonal and illustrates the Renaissance style of the Stuart period, the church having been built in 1688-90. The principal ornament is a series of gadroons, four of which are on the lower portion of each side of the bowl." Noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1975): "Font. Octagonal, typical of its date" [i.e., end of the 17th century]. The octagonal basin is raised on a baluster-shaped pedestal, also octagonal; moulded. Wooden cover consisting of an octagonal platform with eight vertical scrolls arranged in the characteristic way of 17th-century font covers; probably contemporary with the font.
