The National Monuments Record [http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=263796] [accessed 1 October 2009] notes "a crudely moulded tub font with simple recessed panel decoration, possibly c1250" in the south aisle. The font consists of a round basin with tapering sides decorated with flat ribs or slats between thick roll mouldings, raised on a round pedestal also moulded, and a plain square plinth that appears modern. The wooden cover is round and flat, with metal decoration and ring handle.
