This light-coloured stone font is octagonal in shape and stand on a octagonal pillar of slightly greater diameter this in turn stands on an large octagonal base. The pillar features a painted blue and gold decoration.

The font probably dates from the early 19th Century when the present church was built to replace an earlier church constructed in the 13th Century which had become too small for the increasing populous Parish.
