Baptismal font dated by en inscription to 1705; the basin is roughly hemispherical, with a flat moulding at the upper rim and a ball-in-socket band below; the front side is decorated with a large shield held up by crowned (?) beasts between large palm leaves; bearing a coat of arms that appears to include a pair of keys, a winged animal, etc.; raised on a squat round-to-square base with the ball-in-socket pattern. There is no cover visible but there is damage to the upper rim consistent with the presence of hardware associated with an old lid. A wall-mounted holy-water stoup in this church could be 16th-century.
