The font in this church appears to be one of the characteristic 'Paradise fonts' imported from Gotland: a hemispherical basin decorated with a torus and scotia at the upper rim, and a low-relief ribbed pattern down the sides and underbowl, raised on a conical pedestal base with a roll moulding at the top, and a splaying lower base, also circular. The font cover is round and flat; metal? There is a horizontal crack across the upper side of the basin. [NB: there arel traces of red and blue colour on parts of the basin, but we cannot ascertain whether or not these are original or a later addition].
