Pevsner & Williamson (1979) note the present baptismal font dating from G. E. Street's restoration of 1871, as well as: "In the churchyard a decaying medieval font, carved with an arcade and three crosses" [NB: the latter is footnoted: "Information from R. Alvey."] A 13 June 2009 digital photograph of the old font by ChruchCrawler can be seen in Flickr [http://www.flickr.com/photos/churchcrawler/3770490608/in/photostream/] [accessed 5 January 2010]. The font consists of two pieces: an octagonal basin with badly damaged upper rim, decorated as reported in Pevsner & Williamson above; the base is also octagonal but plain, resembling an upturned plain basin.
