There is no mention of a font in Glynne's (1877) entry for this church. The Parish website [http://www.cuxtonandhalling.org.uk/cuxton.htm] [accessed 18 February 2010] informs: "Next to the door is the font […] The existing font is Victorian. Bits of its Mediaeval predecessor were half buried in the churchyard but are now inside for better preservation […] On the left of the door are the remains of a stoup."
