"The font is decorated with a variety of designs composed of blank arches, including, most notably, one formed of intersecting round arches on its W. side, springing from circular piers with what appear to be volute capitals. This probably indicates a mid to late twelfth century date: a dated example of the employment of intersecting round arches can be seen on the W. front of St. Lawrence’s, Castle Rising (Norfolk), constructed after 1138. The N. side of the font features four trefoil-headed blank arches between columns, with leaf designs in the spandrels, and the S. side displays two similar but wider arches, with additional carving at the sides."
