The present baptismal font of this church is a modern one, an octagonal basin on an octagonal pillar, power-tool made and located in the south transept; decorated with a Greek cross in a circe on one of the sides. We have no information on th earlier font(s) of this 13th-century church, but there is an object inside the church, by the south doorway, that could be a holy-water stoup, or a small font; it consists of an octagonal basin plain but for a round chamfer at the upper rim and a moulding on the underbowl chamfer; raised on a plain octagobal pedestal base; appears modern. Also inside the church is a wall-mounted lavabo [it has its own water feed], and could be contemporary with the fabric church.
