Described in Pevsner (1958): "The usual octagonal Perp[endicular] type." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with blank shields in hexafoil panels, the underbowl chamfer slightly concave and decoarted with a rosette on each side, a roll moulding at the bottom; raised on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with varied tracery on the sides; the small octagonal plinth appears modern. There is a large octagonal font (?) outside the entrance of the manor house [Mallet Court] at Curry Mallet, octagonal, moulded and decorated; probably 19th-century.
