XV de gran interés que nos hace pensar en la existencia de un edificio anterior a la actual iglesia, sobre la que se construiría ésta. La pila tiene una taza decorada en su bordura con sogueado muy poco marcado y en su parte alta tiene una franja ancha de círculos entrelazados y de cruces de brazos curvados. El pie es de base cuadrada y se apea en un cuerpo adornado con dientes de sierra sobre el que descansa otro con cuatro bolas en sus ángulos y cruces de brazos curvos entre ellas."
