Noted in Parker (1855): "Font, an octagon, with panelled bowl". But soon after Parker's time the font was altered, as Knott (2008) informs: "St Mary was almost entirely reinvented during the 1860s […] Below the remarkably tall tower arch, the font was competely recarved with the typical East Anglian design of Evangelistic symbols and angels alternating on the bowl, and lions and woodwoses alternating on the stem. The Evangelistic symbols hold scrolls with their Saints' names in Latin, a nice High Church touch." The baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin with deeply-carved panels that contain the symbols of the four Evangelists, identified by boldly lettered scrolls, alternating with four angel demi-figures holding blank shields; the underbowl chamfer contains cherub heads at the angles of the upper level, and a floral motif on each of the panels of the lower level; the pedestal base is round, with four club-holding woodwooses alternating with four sejant lions. The whole font, basin and base is a Victorian re-carving adhering to the traditional East Anglian Evangelists' font design. The wooden cover is octagonal, flat and plain; modern.
