Listed in Cox & Harvey (1907: 196) as having a baptismal font of the 15th century made of granite. Noted and illustrated in Stabb (1908): "There is an old granite font [...] octagonal in shape on short shaft." The font consists of a plain octagonal basin with tapering sides and a chamfered underbowl, raised on a roughly cylindrical pedestal base and a modern (?) square plinth. The sides of the pedestal base are decorated with fluted or striated pattern, but the rest of the font is totally plain.
