White (1878) reports "a new font" in this Norman-style church. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The history of the church is of the simplest, the whole structure, practically as it stands to-day, having been built in the third quarter of the 12th century [...] The font is circular and of late date and a poor imitation of 12th-century work." The font consists of a bucket-shaped basin decorated with a an arcade of beaded-tape intersecting arches resting on columns with capitals and bases, raised of a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a circular lower base; it is, as indicated in the VCH, in the style of 12th-century Norman fonts. The entry for this 12th-century church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU7011753738] mentions no font in it. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church]
