Parker (1855) notes: "The basin of the original font has been fixed on a modern pedestal." Knott (1999) remarks: "The font has a splendid cover, with a lantern top. There is a story that the font was removed during the Puritan era to be used as a feeding bowl for pigs." The octagonal base appears to be a 19th-century replacement.
