13th century octagonal font supported on 4 hexagonal legs.
"The church dates from the Norman period but has substantial later medieval work. Until the fourteenth century, the church was dedicated to St. Leonard, but the church was re-dedicated to St. Mary who was more popular.
After the chancel collapsed in the nineteenth century, a major restoration was carried out in 1886 by W. S. Weatherley."
