The baptismal font in this church is either a totally re-tooled medieval font, perhaps of the 13th or 14th century, or a modern reproduction in the style of that period. The octagonal basin has a chamfered upper rim and a moulding on its lower side; a metal staple is visible sin the upper rim but it appears modern; round plain wooden cover, modern.
