Click to view
Octagonal mounted baptismal font probably dated to the construction of the building, between 1869 and 1871; basin has vertical sides, at least one, the east side, decorated with a quatrefoil-in-a-circle; octagonal stem with several mouldings; octagonal lower base. [NB: the re-built church replaced a chapel-at-ease; we do not know whether the earlier chapel had a font or not].
