Described in Parker (1855): "octagonal font, with panelled pedestal and bowl". Illustrated in Knott (2008). The octagonal basin has a crenellated upper rim, the sides tapering below a thin moulding, decorated with a variet of tracery panels, including quatrefoils, tiny human heads at the angles of the underbowl; more tracery on the octagonal stem, and a moulded lower base that could be a later replacement, and a modern plinth. The wooden font cover is octagonal and flat; appears modern.
