Font Notes: Click to view

On-site notes: baptismal font of a later period than the original fabric of the 11th-12th century church, probably 15th century; the large basin is roughly hemispherical and decorated with a striated ribbed pattern slightly off the vertical, but not as pronounced on the diagonal as the font at Barcelona cathedral, for example; the upper basin side, towards the rim is decorated with a row of short diagonal motifs alternating with ball motif; there is at least one staple of the old cover still in the upper rim; the basn is raised on a squate base, cylindrical at the top to square at the bottom, decorated with several horizontal roll mouldings as well as four motifs at the four angles, knobs or other, very worn; there appears to be another type of motif on the neck or stem but it is very worn as well; the font has now a wooden cover, modern.
