Click to view
Noted in Pevsner (1957): "Font. Plain, octagonal". The tower is said to be Anglo-Saxon, but the rest of the fabric Norman. The font consists of a plain octagonal basin with tapering sides, raised on a plain octagonal pedestal. The basin appears to have been re-cut and/or re-tooled, but is probably medieval, though not likely Saxon or Norman. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this church, unless the present one is a total re-shaping of it]
