Parker (1855) notes: "Font, solid; octagonal below, circular above". Knott (2007?) remarks: "At the west end of the church the font looks like a melted cheese; it is hard to tell if it is in its original configuration, or, indeed, if it was actually a font at all. A big clue that it was is that it has been heavily plastered over, as many fonts were in the later 16th century." The font has a circular basin with a double roll moulding towards the bottom, on a plain octagonal stem separarted from the octagonal base by another moulding. A wooden cover of octagonal pyramidal shape, but with only four straight ribs, tops the font.
