Harrison (1920) reports a baptismal font of the Transitional period in this church. Described and illustrated in the CRSBI (2008): "The font is located at the W[est] end of the S[outh] aisle. It has an octagonal bowl, which stands on a single column and two superimposed chamfered plinths. The upper plinth appears to be of Sussex marble, but the rest is local limestone. The lower two-thirds of the bowl tapers to fit the size of the supporting column. The interior is circular and lead lined [...] The font is thought to date from the 12th century". Noted in the Tillington Parish Plan (2006) [http://tillington.net/Tillington%20Parish%20Plan2.pdf] [accessed 29 January 2010].

The cover was made in c1918 by Willaim Bryder, with ironwork by Paul Thayre, blacksmith."
