Baptismal font probably of the late-18th century, consisting of an octagonal basin with over-hanging trefoiled arch-heads on an octagonal pedestal; medium-dome brass cover with orb-and-cross finial; locks onto the upper rim of the basin; also modern [NB:the present church dates from the late-18th century; the original medieval church appears to have been dedicated to St. Michael; the dedication changed later to St. Remigius -- we have no information on the medieval font]
