Octagonal basin with vertical sides decorated with pairs of arches, raised on a cluster of central shaft and eight outer colonnettes; octagonal plinth with kneeling stone. Tall wooden open-work cover. Font and cover are probably from the late 19th century [NB: a church has existed on this site since Norman times and the tower probably dates from the 14th century, but we do not know whether or not there was an earlier font in this church, a former chapel of Grindalyth].
