Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin of tapering sides raised on a plain octagonal stem and a lower base that splays out, also octagonal; all three parts are plain. Lead lining in the well of the basin. Wooden font cover, flat, with metal ornamentation, appears modern. The whole is raised on an octagonal plinth. The material of the font appears to be a polished course-grain granite. [We are grateful to Julie Pitrone Williamson [jpwilli@wmi.rr.com] for the photographs of church and font]
