We cross the nave to the south aisle. First, on our right, is the Font. The font has a 12th-century circular tapering bowl with comparatively modern carved ornament. The shafts of the stem are modern but the octagonal base is old. The cover is early 17th-century and is carved alternately with lions and unicorns amid foliage. Note the carved dove counterweight of similar date.
