Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a fluted pattern all around the sides, the flutes with alternate short and long tongues inserted in the hollows; large protruding ribs on the underbowl; a damaged rope moulding on the upper rim; the upper rim retains two of the metal staples of the old cover locking system; raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a short square lower base. The font, like the church itself, is probably of the 13th century; it is of regular proportions and the carving appears to be the work of competent hands.
