The present font in this church is a composite object made up of two old basins: the present base appears to be a plain old upturned bucket-shaped basin of a style quite common in this area between the 12th and the 16th centuries; on top of it has been raised an octagonal basin with a chamfered lower end, otherwise plain. Flat wooden cover hinged at the back, also polygonal. [NB: we have no other information or documentation on these items; the church itself was, according to an inscription in the church, consecrated in the 12th century].
