Noted in Parker (1855) as a plain octagonal font. Noted and illustrated in Knott (1999?). The octagonal basin is plain but for the mouldings on the underbowl; on an octagonal pedestal base with mouldings at top and bottom; appears to have been whitewashed. Stands on an octagonal plinth. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid with patterned sides at the base.
