No mention of a font in Harrison (1920), who gives the church restoration date as 1822. The present font and cover are modern, probably of the 19th-century restoration; the font consists of an octagonal basin raised on a pedestal base decorated with arches; the tall wooden font cover has openwork and dates also from the 19th century. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
