In 1860 a 14th-century Gothic baptismal font was presented to the church. On its base a 17th-century inscription says "This fonte came/from the Kings/chapel in Islipp..." and claims that Edward the Confessor was baptised in it. If true, it would be a Saxon font that was re-cut and Gothicised in the 14th century. It may have been salvaged from the Saxon chapel of the Royal House of Wessex at Islip, which was damaged in the English Civil War in 1645 and demolished in the 1780s.
