The medieval font here is documented in an 1805 watercolour by John Buckler (1770-1851); the font consists of a square basin with plain sides that have a narrow chamfer all around the underbowl; raised on a plain central shaft and four outer colonnettes that appear to be moulded; square lower base; square plinth. The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 11, 1980) notes: "A church stood at Netheravon on the site of the present church in the earlier 11th century [...] Registrations of baptisms begin in 1582"; restored in 1888 by C. E. Ponting; the VCXH entry does not mention a font in this parish. The present font is an octagonal one with basin panels decorated with a variety of quatrefoils, the underbowl underbowl, and raised on a plain octagonal pedestal, a moulded lower base and a round plinth, all of it Victorian. The flat and round wooden cover has metal decoration and ring handle; also 19th-century, like the present font. [NB: the fabric of this church goes back to the 11th century; the font illustrated by Buckler in 1805 could be 12th-century; we have no information on its present wehereabouts; it was probably disposed of in the 19th-century restorations and renovations of this church]
