Baptismal font made of granite and consisting of two pieces: the top piece includes the round basin and a tall chamfered underbowl; the lower piece is round-to-square; the basin is decorated with a double parallel roll moulding at the upper rim; the base has a centre ring moulding, and a pair of parallel grooves on the sides of the square part. Two sides of the base have been either broken off and re-cut, or were part of an irregular block of granite to start with [NB: since these fonts are usually neatly measured and formed, it is likely to have been damaged at a later time].
