Parker (1855) notes an octagonal font with a plain basin. Noted and illustrated in Knott (1999?) as a medieval font re-cut. The octagonal basin has plain sides but has floral motifs on the underbowl chamfer; floral motifs and mouldingds decorate the octagonal pedestal base. The wooden cover is an octagonal pyramid with crocketed arrises and a floral finial; could be 19th-century. [NB: the church and village of nearby Little Fakenham have completely disappeared]
