Pevsner & Cherry (1975) mention the cover: "Font cover. Jacobean, nice, with volutes and balusters", but do not mention the Norman font. The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 15, 1995) notes: "A church stood on the king's Winterbourne Stoke estate in 1066, when it was served by a chaplain. [...] It was given to Jumieges abbey in the period 1078–83 [...] The nave is 12th-century with a north doorway of two orders and a blocked south doorway with a square-headed opening beneath a moulded arch of one order. [...] The church contains a 12th-century font, with a 17th-century cover". The baptismal font consists of a cylindrical basin with a plain rounded underbowl and a centre-ring moulding, raised on a moulded base and a quadrangular lower base. The font cover, as noted in Pevsner & Cherry above, is probably 17th-century.
[NB: we have no information on the font of the pre-Conquest church here]
