Described and illustrated in the Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture of Britain and Ireland (2008): "At the W[est] end of the nave, an unlined, plain tub-shaped font with a thick, projecting lower rim. The bowl stands on three 19thc. shafts, on a plain round base with a square step. Only the bowl is medieval, and its surface has been completely retooled with vertical tool marks. The rim is damaged at the north, and has a lead repair at the SE […] The plain font is […] said to be 12thc." Parker (1855) mentions only a later font in this church [cf.
