There are three baptismal fonts reported in this church; of the three one could be pre-1700: it consists of a polygonal basin of reddish stone with a very short stem, on a base that matches the shape of the basin at the top but is square below. The other two fonts appear modern. [NB" the fabric of the church goes back to the late 13th century, but we have no information on its medieval font].
