There is no mention of a font in Glynne's (1877) entry for this "Third Pointed" church. The 2002 entry for Nurstead in the Kent Archaeological Society website [http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Libr/VisRec/N/NUR/Gallery.htm] [accessed 18 February 2010] illustrates an octagonal font of basic Perpendicular design, decorated with the usual quatrefoiled panels and mouldings, but the font may be 19th-century rather than 15th.
