Noted in Hoskins (1954) as a baptismal font of the 14th century. No mention of it in Pevsner (1952). The baptismal font consists of a plain octagonal basin of plain vertical sides and chamfered underbowl, raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a tall splaying lower base, also octagonal [NB: the lower base looks very much like an up-turned medieval baptismal font basin with trimmed rim].
