Pevsner & Cherry (1973) report a wooden font and font cover of the 18th century in this church. This same source writes: "The new and unremarkable font designed by Street and made in 1853 is now in Uppingham parish church". [cf. Index entry for Uppingham]. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to ca. 1300, but we have no information on its earlier font].
