Baptismal font consisting of circular basin with moulded upper and lower ends, the space in between originally decorated with niches in which stood figures, but only one of these remains, the rest having been plastered (?) over; one of the lower moulding is decorated with an acanthus (?) vine; the others are either flat or rounded, but plain.
