Noted in Verey & Brooks (1999-2002): "Font. Norman, with plain circular bowl with moulded rim and base." The font is raised on a polygonal plinth. The ill-matched wooden cover consists of a flat octagonal platform with four raised open-work arches with external buttresses; an odd shaped object, perhaps composite?
