Not font mentioned in Pevsner (1958). The present font is octagonal, of standard Perpendicular design, with large quatrefoils on the sides of the basin, but it could be 19th-century, as is probably the octagonal flat wooden cover on it. [NB: the church fabric goes back to Norman times, but we have no information of an earlier font]
