Noted in Sherwood & Pevsner (1974): "Font. Perp[endicular]. Octagonal, with quatrefoils enclosing rosettes." Besides those motifs noted there, there are floral motifs on the underbowl chamfer sides, a centre ring moulding at the lower end of the underbowl, and trefoil-headed arches or windows on the sides of the octagonal stem; the lower base is octagonal and moulded. There is tiny octagonal plinth the extension of which is linked to the base of the nearby pillar. The wooden cover appears octagonal and flat (?) [NB: the church has a beautiful forch with beak heads and zig-zag, but we have no information on the corresponding baptismal font of that period]
