Pevsner (1952) gives the dedication as St. Michael and does not mention any font here. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SX9533076643] notes: "Mediaeval tower, the rest of the church rebuilt in 1824" but mentions no font in it. [NB: the present building is chiefly the result of a 19th-century renovation of a medieval church, but we have no information on the earlier font of the original church]
