Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a large round basin raised on a broad circular pedestal base and a round plinth; the latter has two parts: the inner one is of stone, but the outer part is brick [NB: brick was used also in the old parts of the building]. The church was established in the late-12th or early-13th century, which is probably the likely date of the font.
