Modern baptismal font of a design that harks back at the double fonts of the region, but the second basin has been reduced here to an hexagonal dish-like appendix held by a thin stone bracket sticking out of the stem of the font proper; the font proper consists of an hexagonal basin decorated with a band of qautrefoils -five per side- with an Ogee arch-head below that hangs in the style of some 13th- and 14th-century English fonts; the stem is slender and octagonal decorated with trefoiled panels. Metal cover with orb-and-cross finial, probably contemporary with the font. [NB: this church dates back to the 15th century, but the present font is probably an early-19th century replacement of the one destroyed during the French Revolution]
