Baptismal font in black stone [marble?] consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin with pronounced upper rim, the underbowl decorated with stylised ribbed pattern, raised on a slender stem with fluted pattern splaying at the base, and a miniscule quadrangular plinth. The font probably dates from the building of this church between 1856-1859.
