Baptismal font consisting of a large hemispherical basin raised on a round moulded squat base; the basin appears cover in a thick coat of dark paint. Antonio García Omedes [cf. infra] informs BSI [e-mail of 24 Aug 2007] that local sources believe the round plinth is now buried in the present flooring [NB: the present bulding is probably 17th- or 18th-century, but the fonts is from the earlier church].
