Described in Pevsner (1952): "Font. Octagonal, Perp[endicular], bowl decorated with shields only, pillar with the simplest blank arches." Noted and illustrated in the Parish web site [http://www.stedwardschurcheggbuckland.co.uk/] [accessed 27 January 2009]: "The font dates back to 1450, is made of Dartmoor granite and is almost as old as the original parts of the church. The oak cover was added in 1902 and was paid for out of collections taken at the children's services of the time." The octagonal basin has a double moulding at the upper side, and small blank shields on the panels; a double moulding again at the lower side; a square flower decorates each of the underbowl chamfer panels; single trefoil-headed window on each side of the octagonal stem; the lower base is moulded; on an octagonal plinth with kneeling stone.
