Cox (1912) reports a "small modern font" in this Norman church; he also mentions a stoup on the east doorway but no date is given; it is presumably medieval. Neither font nor stoup mentioned in Pevsner & Williamson (1979). [NB: the stoup appears to be on the east side of the south doorway; we have no information on the original Norman font]
