Noted in Parker (1855): "The font is bricked up around the stem; the basin is octagonal, and has its sides carved with D[ecorated] window tracery." The font is illustrated in Knott (1999?) [photograph by Alan Thurkettle], and it no longer has the base mentioned in Parker above; instead it is raised on a central shaft and four (?) slender outer colonnettes with moulded capitals and bases, and a plain square plinth. Not clear whether those shafts are the remaing four (?) of the eight original ones. The wooden cover is plain, flat and round; modern.
