Apparently, the shaft was excavated from beneath a medieval cross. When its steps were dug up the pre-Conquest shaft was lying below that. The cross-shaft sits in a socketed base, near the porch, that is more recent in date. All Saints church houses a rather nice octagonal, Perpendicular font that has a Tudor rose carved on its base.
