Click to view
The baptismal font has a round basin that is wide at the upper rim but very narrow at the bottom; decorated with a moulding and scotia near the rim; on a narow and squat base, moulded and decorated, and a square lower base. It appears to have been re-tooled. The wooden cover is flat and round, very crudely made. [NB: the fabric of the church is said to date from the 12th century, but we have no information on its earlier font].
