Baptismal font probably of the 16th or 17th century; it appears to have been knocked about, and perhaps altered, as the basin sides show signs of partial varvings; as it stands now [June 2010] the basin is round and fairly shallow, the underbowl decorated with two 'flying' angels lying horizontally and holding forward books in their hands; the polygonal stem has a ball-like top decorated with foliated motifs; splayed at the bottom to a moulded end; the lower base is octagonal-to-square, decorated with motifs that are now worn or damaged. [NB: an uncorroborated source suggests this font was originally at the Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Salcinar y del Rosario]
