"The font has a deep round bowl (now cracked) supported on a small short stem and four shafts, two of them of a round reel shape and perhaps of the 11th or 12th century; the other two are later, they are square with stopped chamfers to their outer edges."

It is believed that one of the supporting stones is of Saxon origin - the one with the characteristic wheatsheaf shape.
