Neo-Norman baptismal font of the type that has a round basin the lower part of which overhangs the base; in this case the basin sides rest on colonnettes that reach the ground, but the side itself is open in an arch that shows the central shaft of which the basin rests. It is dated to the mid-19th century, the time when the church was re-built [NB: we have no information on the font of the earlier church]
