Font Notes:
Baptsmal font consisting of a tub-shaped basin raised on a circular moulded base that may have belonged to an earlier font; the basin itself is relatively modern. [NB: the church fabric dates back to the Romanesque period, but we have no information on the medieval font here]. The interior of the church has a small holy-water stoup with arcaded ribbed pattern; perhaps late-medieval?
