Parker (1855) notes "Font, early, with a plain circular bowl". Knott (2009) writes: "The font is easily dismissed, but its shape, on the eve of the Reformation, already speaks of the rumblings on the continent that would flower as the Renaissance". The moulded round basin has an octagonal underbowl with a square flower on each side, and mouldings below; raised on an octagonal stem and lower base, the latter moulded as well. The innder well of the basin is lead-lined. Is this the font Parker saw? Was it re-cut since?
