Tynell (1913-1921: 75) lists a medieval font disappeared from this church; not listed in the 1830 inventory [NB: we have no further information on that font]. The present font is 17th-century; it is a hexagonal wooden cabinet with vertical carved and painted panels; around the upper sides a painted inscription; the font is on casters so it can be moved around. Of the two baptismal dishes here one is 15th-century, the other 17th-century.
