Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a tub-shaped basin with a moulding at the upper rim; raised on a short plain stem and a round-to-square lower base; one of the sides [the front/east now] shows a deeply incised semicircle on it; it is not clear whether this was marking to further decorate the font or not. There is damage to the upper rim and the sides of the basin and base, and the font appears to have been originally a crude work rather than a refined one.
