Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a quadrangular [square?] basin with rounded angles, both inside and out; the basin is irregular and has a notch on the front side, that would be too low to accommodate the lock of a font cover, unless an earlier cover had an extended clasp or similar; it is otherwise plain; there is drain hole on the back [west] side of the basin; the moulded quadrangular base is likely a later addition or replacement, perhaps of the 16th or 17th century. There is wooden cover hinged at the back, plain and flat; of a much later date than the font.
