Mid-19th-century (?) Victorian baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin in the traditional Perpendicular font style: panelled sides with varied symbols (figures, Christ's initials, roses, etc.) inscribed in quatrefoils, and a graded underbowl chamfer; raised on an octagonal pedestal with trefoil windows, and an octagonal lower base. The flat octagonal wooden cover is has metal decoration and handle, and is probably contemporary with the font.
