There is no information available at present about the original font in this church; it would have been dated to ca. 1220, the date of the original early-Gothic church. The baptismal font in use now appears modern: it consists of an octagonal basin with two blind trefoil arcxhes on each side, and a plain rounded underbowl; the slender stem of the base is octagonal and plain but for marked mouldings at top and bottom; the lower base is square-to-octagonal and otherwise plain. Intesrting wooden cover decorated with pinted panels on the sides.
