Font is of mid-C15 date with octagonal stem having sunken panels of blind tracery before which stand small plinths of semi- octagonal form (as if to carry crouching lions and buttresses that were unexecuted or have been removed).

The bowl itself has sunken panels, those facing the compass points having angels bearing coats of arms of the De Brewse family (who erected it) and the same impaling Ufford, Shardelow and Stapleton.
