Harrison (1920) notes the Norman church here as having been restored and enlarged in 1854, but does not mention a font in it. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 7, 1940) notes: "The church of St. Michael [...] consists of an apsidal sanctuary with an axial tower over the adjoining chancel, all of the early or mid 12th century." There is no font or stoup mentioned in the VCH entry for this church. The present octagonal font is modern, probably 19th-century restoration of this church. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
