Harrison (1920), who does not mention a font in his entry for this church, writes: "Restored in 1850 and 1864. Some parts of the earlier Nor[man] church remain in the nave walls, N. wall of the chancel, and the chancel arch, which is horse-shoed and has on each side rudely carved lion in bas-relief." The Sussex Parish Churches site [www.sussexparishchurches.org/content/view/32/34/] [accessed 31 January 2013] notes: "Font: Plain and octagonal. It does not look older than the C19, but Horsfield [i.e., Horsfield (1835)] describes a similar one, so this may be the same, heavily retooled." [i.e., Horsfield (1835)]
