Font Notes:
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on an octagonal pedestal base and quadrangular lower base; the basin may have been originally octagonal and lost most of the arrises due to erosion and wear, or it is simply irregular with some almos flat areas on it. No cover present but the groove on the inside of the upper rim suggests it was meant to have one originally.
