Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin tapering onto a squat round base; the sides of the basin are decorated with a ribbed pattern of diagonal ribs, with roudn arch-heads atop the ribs; two metal staples at opposite ends in the upper rim to secure the cover; damage to one side probably related to cover hardware. The present cover is flat and round, with a large Latin cross flat on it; modern.
