Harrison (1920) notes Norman work on the west door, but otherwise an Early English period building; there is no mention of a font in it. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 4, 1953) notes: "The original church, of the 12th century, seems to have consisted of a single chamber, probably with a semicircular east end; in the 13th century this was extended eastward, the former east wall being demolished and the four walls of a chancel built. [...] The font and fittings, and the roofing throughout, are modern." The present baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin raised on a round pedestal base and a quadrangular plinth. There is a stone-insert repair to the upper rim, [NB: we have no information on the font from the 12th-century church here]. [NB: Harrison (1920) further notes: "About a mile south are the ruins of Shulbrede Priory, incorporated with a house. It was founded by Sir Ralph de Ardeme, before 1208, for five canons of the order of St. Augustine, and dissolved in 1536." -- we have no information on whether a baptismal existed in it, though there probably did].
