Baptismal font, probably of the medieval period, consisting of a large roughly hemispherical basin mounted on a pedestal base; the basin appears plain on the outside but ornamented with concave rib pattern on the inside of the well; the base is round-to-square with motifs at the corners, only one of which appears to have surviced. It is now much damaged.
