Two fonts are noted in Pevsner & Cherry (1973): "Fonts. The old one is Norman, circular, with two defaced knob-like heads. The present one is octagonal with close patterns of honeysuckle-like leaves. The most likely date is the 1660s." Plans to re-locate the Norman font were noted in the 'Wappenham Newsletter' [Autumn 2006]
