English Heritage [Listing NGR: TM1761196674] (1959) notes: "Mainly C14. C14 nave and chancel arch. C14 chancel with Perpendicular windows. South porch. West tower built 1848. C15 choir bench ends with poppyheads. C15 plain octagonal font with shields and C17 cover." Noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1999): "Octagonal, Perp[endicular], plain, with shields." Noted and illustrated in Knott (): "The font is a plain late-medieval piece, the font cover from a century and a half later". The sides of the octagonal basin are framed in very thick piping/moulding around the blank shields; the underbowl is moulded at the upper end, then plain and slightly concave; the stem, lower base and plinth are octagonal and plain. The font cover is of Jacobean design; an octagonal base that overlaps the basin rim is the base to four vertical scroll ribs around a turned pivot; ball finial; mid-17th century? [NB: we have no information on the font from the Norman-period church here -- cf. Index entry for Hapton No. 1 for s toup of that period in this church].
