Click to view
The church is noted in Harrison (1920) as Early English restored in 1883; no font mentioned. The present font, octagonal and with decorated sides, is Victorian, probably from the 19th-century restoration noted above; it is located by the south doorway. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
