Baptismal font made of copper, perhaps of the 16th or 17th century. Like many of the metal fonts of this date and area, the basin is bell-shaped and is set on a graded moulded base; tall conical cover, probably of the same period, also of copper. Ornamentation is simple, with two bands of geometric motif around the sides; more on the cover.
