Click to view
Noted in Parker (1855) as a modern font. The present font, probably the same one as noted in Parker [cf. supra], is located at the west end of the nave, by the tower arch; it consists of an octagonal basin raised on a pedestal base. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the 15th century, but we have no information on the earlier font]
