A second, now disused, font is reported in the RCAHM (Buckinghamshire, 1912- ): "Font, now used as a flower stand, in the Vicarage garden, is probably of the 13th century. It is of crude design, with circular cup-shaped bowl, on a moulded stem and plain base. Condition--Bad, much weatherworn." [cf.
