The font bowl > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/915260 is Purbeck marble and dates from the 13th century; it was recut, and reset onto a 19th century base. All stained glass dates from the 19th century also, with a number of panels in the north aisle windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/915256 being of particular interest in that they are believed to have been made in Paris, around 1850. Some of the benches have carved poppyheads. The church is kept locked. See also: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/filby/filby.htm
