One of these is Norman, and probably is the oldest." [NB: there are no more details on this, the oldest font, and it is not mentioned in Guilford (1927)]. No font mentioned for this church in Pevsner & Williamson (1979). [cf. Index entries for Oxton Nos. 1 and 2 for the earlier fonts in this church]
