Baptismal font located outside the church, exposed to the elements; it consists of a polygonal basin of vertical sides, some decorated with quatrefoil windows, and raised on a columnar base [NB: given that our only source is a distant photograph of the object, it could be a medieval font, although the chamfer of the underbowl and the columnar base look suspiciously like a Victorian font].
