Type I" in Drake (2002), who uses spelling 'Kappeln'. Baptismal font consisting of a slightly tapering round basin decorated with a vine between two mouldings, and a band of fan-frieze below; the usual round-to-square base with a roll moulding [damaged] atop, and four couchant-regardant lions set at 90-degrees of the broad central shaft below. Modern cover. The old font, bells and a few other objects were retained from the medieval church demolished in 1900. The font and its modern cover are located now in the new church, at the east end of the north aisle.
