Wilson (1870) notes: "The foundation of the circular step of the ancient font is now embedded in the pavement, in the centre of the west end of the nave. The present font is modern, and stands on the confines of the same site." [NB: we have no information on the original font(s) of the 13th- and 14th-century church]
