"The 15th century font is rather unusual; lions and buttresses support the stem, with angels under the bowl in the best East Anglian tradition - although this font is really in excellent condition. The emblems carved in the 8 panels include a crowned Marian symbol, a crucifixion with Christ flanked by Mary and St John, instruments of the Passion about a heart, and a Tudor rose. There is also another crowned Marian M, but this appears to have been recut more recently. It is probably from the same workshop as that at nearby Earl Stonham."
