Click to view
The present font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin with a pronounced rim moulding, raised on a round pedestal sanwiched between two square impost-like parts; the stem itself is decorated with incised ribbed pattern. The font is modern; the basin has no drain or old cover anchors. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original late-12th century church here].
