On-site notes: baptismal font consisting of two pieces, a crude example of local work: the basin is almost cylindrical, slightly narrower at bottom, very irregular and totally plain; the base, by contrast a well-rendered piece, is a cylindrical column with a low-relief indented window with a Latin cross in it. The plain flat wooden cover is modern but the iron staples in the rim of the basin are the original. Evidence of repairs on the base.
