Baptismal font consisting of an old and battered tub-shaped basin with slightly tapering sides that are decorated with a blind arcade of round shallow arches around the upper half; the upper rim sows a rope moulding in some parts, the rest broken off; it is raised on a modern base, curiously of quatrefoil shape [i.e., a cluster of four round columns]. The basin appears to have been left to all weathers and shows erosion damage as well as the damaged rim mentioned above.
