Two fonts are noted in the VCH (Shropshire, vol. 8, 1968): an octagonal font in the Perpendicular style "unlikely to be older than 1854", and an earlier "small round font with a slender stem" that was in the church in 1823. Anderson (1864) notes this church was "dedicated to St. Edith the Virgin in 1291". [NB: we have no information on the medieval font(s) of this church]
