Harrison (1920) reports an early-15th century font in this originally Early English church. The font consists of a round tapering basin decorated with roll mouldings at top rim and bottom; raised on a cylindrical pedestal base decorated with two parallel roll mouldings at theop, and a moulded lower base; stands on a quadrangular plinth. Despite the late date suggested in Harrington [cf. supra], the font appears closer to late-13th-century designs in the area, The woden cover is flat and round, with ring handle, probably Victorian.
