Noted in Newman & Pevsner (2006): "Font. C12. Plain round bowl on its original base." Two church interior plans [http://www.churchplansonline.org/image_collections/jpegs/05489.jpg] [accessed 26 April 2010] show the font in different positions: in the earlier one the font appears at the west end of the nave, south side, just west of the south entrance; the later (1859?) plan shows the font on the north side of the nave, opposite the entrance and to the east.
