Baptismal font of two volumes, although it may consist of a single block; round tapering shape, with a break to slightly wider half-way down; now cemented into a corner of the nave, but not known whether that was the original location; the upper half has a square cut-off area near the upper rim, originally intended for the cover lock, but not known whether ever used for that purpose as it does not appear to have any ferrous remains in place. No present cover in evidence.
