The octagonal sandstone font, whose inscriptions date it after 1507, is carved with coats of arms of families associated with the Pudsays, and has latin inscriptions inlaid in brass.
Pevsner calls the early 16th Century sandstone font, which is decorated with heraldry of the Pudsey family, "solid and impressive". The Pudsey arms on the panel to the right (Vert a chevron between three mullets or) are interesting for featuring the uncommon tincture (colour) green, which was associated with the 'Saracen' enemy during the crusades.
