A baptismal font somewhat in the style of the old Cornish fonts (round bowl on central support and four rim-high colonnettes), but of modern execution (19th century?). The side of the basin and the underbowl are decorated with incised motifs. [NB: the church fabric goes back to the mid-16th century, but we have no information from the font of that time].
