Noted in Parker (1855): "Font, an octagon, with panelled bowl". Noted and illustrated in Knott (2007): "The font is crudely carved, and topped with one of those towering covers which were fashionable copies of late Perpendicular in the early years of the 20th century." The octagonal basin has some (?) blank sides, those facing west; the other sides are decorated with quatrefoils inscribing floral or shield motifs; there is damage to the rim area, where the cover staple is; raised on a plain octagonal stem, a moulded lower base and an octagonal plinth. The cover, as indicated in Knott above, is modern, a towering job of open-work.
