An octagonal basin of no clear pedrigree or date, now lying on the ground to the right of the altar. Not known whether it belonged to this church or to one in the vicinity; it is obviously designed to be mounted on a base, but this is now missing. It might even be as late as the church itself, late-17th century (?) [cf. Index entry for the font of this church]
