Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin the outer sides of which are decorated with two rows of crudely rendered fluting or convex ribbing; raised on a pedestal base that starts square at the top, with a thick roll moulding directly below; plain circular stem and round-to-square lower base; the shallowness of the inner basin well would be indicative of a late date, even though the crudeness of the work may be reminiscent of older fonts of the area. The wooden cover is flat, round and plain; modern. [NB: the present church replaced an earlier one of the 13th century, but we have no information on the medieval font here].
