A 13th century font consisting of a circular bowl on a square base. The base is surrounded by eight attached shafts, with the capitals alternately moulded and decorated with carved masks.
The font is in the north west corner of the church behind a baptistery screen given in 1938 in memory of Canon S. T. Winckley.
