The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 3, 1930) notes: "The font is a plain octagonal bowl with octagonal pedestal and a 17th-century cover." The only decoration is a moulding on the pedestal base. The basin has had repairs made with new stone inserts. [NB: the VCH reports "two stones were found under the north-east pier, which together formed part of a pre-Conquest cross", but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
