Baptismal font [of the 15th century?] noted in the Wickham St. Paul entry in [http://www.achurchnearyou.com/wickham-st-pauls-all-saints/] [accessed 27 September 2010]. The font consists of an octagonal basin raised on a pedestal of the same shape, and a rectangular plinth; if the font is of the 15th century, it has been completely re-cut. Based on present looks [ca. 2008], the font appears modern.
