Chalice-shaped baptismal font, probably of the 15th century; large roughly hemispherical basin decorated on the upper with a row of deeply-carved foliage pattern that resembles an upturned arcade, the lower sides and underbowl covered in a stylised rib pattern; short stem with a deep scotia between two mouldings; star-shaped lower base; the stone surface appears weathered and the is some damage to the upper rim, probably consistent with the forceful removal of old cover staples.
