The font is a simple design with basic patterning and a tapered column support. It has a wooden cover and slightly stepped base.
St Martin's church was built on a site given by the Duke of Somerset then consecrated in October 1846. Wikipedia describes the church (see website below):
'The Church of England parish church of Saint Martin was built in 1842-44 to decorated gothic designs by the Gothic Revival architect George Gilbert Scott. It was consecrated on 14 October 1846 as a chapel of ease of the parish of Mere. On 27 June 1848 Zeals was made a separate ecclesiastical parish and St Martin's became the parish church.'
