The present baptismal font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a flat and a round moulding at the upper rim, otherwise plain; raised on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a square lower base with chamfered angles. The font appears modern, although the stem may have been re-tooled. [NB: the fabric of the church goes back to the 13th century but we have no information on the medieval font here].
