Click to view
On-site notes: irregular monolithic font made of granite; it is of three volumes in decreasing size towards the bottom; no decoration; the basin well has no drain hole. It is a crude work, perhaps Romanesque, though the font is totally plain. The font is now located in the south aisle, at the east end, obviously not its original position.
