Noted and illustrated in the Roughwood British Churches Album [http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/Kent/Bonnington/Bonnington-St-Rumwold.htm] [acessed 11 February 2010]: "The font is 12th century with a Jacobean wooden cover." The basin is cauldron-shaped, but with the four spurs and a square base forming a frame at the bottom, a shape somewhat resembling the mortars of the priod; the base is a quadrangular pedestal made of multiple stones, probably modern. The wooden font cover is of the scroll-ribs-on-a-platform type, in this case a round one; appears Jacobean. There is no mention of any font in Glynne (1877).
