St Mary's, Weston Turville contains a particularly fine example of an "Aylesbury" font (see shared description below) - considered one of the top four specimens of this style of font. It dates from the late C12th and has the typical fluting on the bowl. These fonts also typically have the band connecting the bowl to the base, more usually in the form of a rope, but alternatively, as seen here, sometimes decorated with chevrons.
