Described in Glynne (1877): "The font has a plain octagonal bowl on a large stem, raised on two steps." Noted and illustrated in the Roughwood British Churches Album [http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/Kent/Ivychurch/IvychurchStGeorge2005.htm] [accessed 13 February 2010]: "The plainly carved font dates from the late 15th century and is made of Kentish ragstone." The font consists of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides and a chamfered underbowl, raised on a broad octagonal stem with a single moulding at the top, and a moulded lower base of like shape; on a two-step plinth. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with metal decoration and handle; modern. The Roughwood... (ibid.) notes also "a lovely quatrefoil holy water stoup by the south door".
