The present baptismal font consists of an octagonal basin with carved panel on the rounded sides containing gilded motifs and symbols, on a moulded octagonal pedestal base. The cover is octagonal and moulded, with an acorn finial, also gilded. The church goes back to medieval times but the font is modern [NB: we have no information on its medieval font]
