A font is reported in Pevsner (1952): "Perp[endicular], octagonal, with quatrefoil panels on the bowl and tracery panels on the pillar", is obviously not the original one, but probably the one from the mid-15th century expansion noted in Hoskins (1954): "a substantial reconstruction in the mid 15th century, in which the aisles were rebuilt, the walls of the nave raised and fine wagon roofs inserted throughout the church, new windows inserted at various points in the church and a new font put in." Noted in Billing & Gerrard (2003): "a remarkable 500-year-old font with a square iron lock".
