Baptismal font probably of a late date, perhaps 16th or 17th century; the basin is hemispherical with a roll moulding and a wide-lip rim in which are still the two staples of the cover; one of the upper sides is badly damaged, with a good chunk missing; a narrow and very short stem links it to a square lower base and plinth of the same shape, all plain. [NB: the church itself dates to the Romanesque period, but we have no information on the original font of that period]
