Noted and illustrated in Walker (1883): "The font [...] is of first Pointed date; octagonal with circular bowl [...] the lower part of the base is square; the cover is modern, of good character, and is lifted by a fine wrought iron crane of the sixteenth century." The cover Walker noted [cf. supra] has been replaced by a low-dome metal cover with ball finial [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the old cover]. The font is now [2010] located in the mid-13th century baptistery of the church.
