Font Notes:
Baptismal font made of brown marble, consisting of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, the underbowl decorated with graded mouldings, raised on a cluster of a square central shaft and four colonnettes, the latter with moulded capitals and bases, and a two-step octagonal lower base. Rectangular plinth. The wooden cover is round and flat, with a large Latin cross flat on the upper surface. Both font and cover are modern, the font probably of the same date as the church itself, the 19th century.
