Noted in Harrison (1920): "Font, plain square." In his entry for Southwick, Harrison (ibid.) remarks its font is similar to the one in this church. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 1, 1980) notes: "A church was recorded at Kingston in 1086. (fn. 30) The church given to the Templars by Simon le Count and confirmed to them by John le Count in 1206 was named as Kingston [...] but was evidently Southwick, which had been entered as Kingston in the Domesday survey. [...] The nave appears to survive from the 11th century. The tower and chancel, which are of equal width, survive from the 13th century"; there is no mention of a font in the VCH entry for this church. No font mentioned in the English Heritage record [IoE no.: 297311] for this church [www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=297311&mode=quick] [accessed 22 October 2012]. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church]. The present font consists of a plain square basin on a pedestal. It may be medieval, with much restored damage to the basin.
