The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) notes in its description of the south doorway: "on the east by a similar capital and abacus, but the shaft is corbelled off a little below the capital, the space below being occupied by a 15thcentury stoup, the sides of which are panelled and project as three sides of an octagon. The stonework of the bowl and foot of the stoup is somewhat broken and worn away, and modern plaster flower ornaments have been placed in the hollow chamfer of the label over the doorway." Brooks & Pevsner (2007) report a "Perp[endicular] panelled stoup" in the south doorway [cf. Index entry for Shrawley No. 1 for the medieval font of this church]
