Illustrated in Knott (2005). The octagonal font is of difficult dating, especially since it appears to have been re-cut or drastically re-tooled; at present it shows only a moulding at the bottom of the underbowl and another at the lower base, which is octagonal and splaying; raised on a circular plinth. The wooden cover is octagonal and box-like; probably 19th-century. [NB: the church goes back to the 14th century]
