There is no font mentioned in the entry for this Early English church in Harrison (1920). The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 7, 1940) notes: "The parish church is of unknown dedication [...] The nave is said to be of late 11th-or 12th-century work; Hussey [(1852: 293)] in 1852 speaks of Norman north and south doorways, but all original features have disappeared". The VCH entry for this church (ibid.) does not mention a font, but its interior pland shows one located at the west end of the nave. This is probably the same modern font that is in use today, dating probably from the 19th century. [NB: we have no information from the font of the 11th- or 12th-century church here].
