Font, now garden ornament. Probably C14 or C15. Limestone. Octagonal plan, although only 2 sides remain at time of survey (April 1987). Blind traceried panels to sides. Stepped octagonal stone base. Thomas Wharton (1771-1790), a former rector of Kiddington, refers to the font in his Specimen of a History of Oxfordshire (1783) and states that it came from the "Kings Chapell" in Islip c.1780. It is now a garden ornament in Kiddington park. (Thomas Wharton, Specimen of a History of Oxfordshire (1783),p16; Kiddington park and gardens are included in H.B.M.C.E.
