A 14th century octagonal font decorated with quatrefoil panels, similar to the one at St Michael’s, but without the three projections. 19th century cover.

Sutton Bonington has two medieval churches, a result of the merging of the two original villages (Sutton and Bonington); they are St. Michael's Church (Bonington's church, located on Main Street) and the smaller St. Anne's Church (Sutton's church).
Approximate Age of Artefact: 1300
