Baptismal font consisting of a plain square basin with chamfered upper corners, raised on a pedestal made of multiple blocks. The wooden cover, attached to the basin is octagonal, with hasp lock. Both font and cover are modern, perhaps from the 1955 renovation of the church [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of the original church of 1838/1839]
