Baptismal font made of Greek marble; it consists of a quatrefoil [tetralobe] basin, inside and out, raised on a square base and square lower base; the base is decorated with a few thin mouldings. There is evidence of damage at the upper rim where the iron staples of the old cover still show. [We are grateful to Angels Majó Rais, from Barcelona, Spain, for the photograph of this font]
