The present baptismal in this church is a 19th-century replacement of the medieval font; it consists of an octagonal basin with moulded rim and sides decorated with deeply-carved quatrefoils, both round and cusped, inscrbing floral motifs; raised on a moulded stem and lower base, both octagonal. The plinth is octagonal and modern as well. The wooden cover is octagonal, plain and flat; modern. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the Decorated period, but we have no information on the original font from this church]
