Benton (1867-1888) wrote: "The pulpit, with the date 1870 to be found within, is of carved oak, the work of the present rector's own hands [...] The font of carved Caen stone, with an oak cover, bearing the same date as the pulpit, was likewise executed by the manual labour of the Rev. J. Montagu." The 27 July 1959 listing for this church in Historic England [NGR: TQ8602891862] reports in its 27 July 1959 listing: "No pulpit, no font."
