Pevsner (1952) notes: "Font. With quatrefoil panels, much repaired." Hoskins (1954) writes: "was originally an early 13th century cruciform building […] and much work of this period has survived. In the 15th century the N. transept was extended to form a complete aisle to nave and chancel, and the S. transept widened. The fittings of the church are all commonplace Victorian." [NB: we have no information on the font of the 13th-century church; the repaired font dates probably from the 15th-century expansion]
