Baptismal font consisting of a bucket-shaped basin raised on a stem made up of a cylindrical shaft with outer mouldings, both vertical (four) and horizontal (at the bottom; the two pieces, basin and base must be from diferent periods, the base, later; the basin, probably 13th-century, is plain on the outside but for a flat moulding; the inner well of the basin is ribbed; the basin has a central drain that has been modernised with household plumbing hardware. The wooden font cover consists of a flat round platform with raised scrolls; appears modern.
