A baptismal font located beneath the west gallery is reported in SIPA [IPA.00004296] [http://www.monumentos.gov.pt/Site/APP_PagesUser/SIPA.aspx?id=4296] [accessed 13 September 2025]: "Coro-alto de madeira, sob o qual se encontra, no lado do Evangelho, a pia baptismal."
The present font in this church consists of a roughly hemispheric basin decorated with a pair of simple horizontal grooves around the sides, and a pattern of stylised ribs on the underbowl; the round pedestal stem is of bulbous shape, with concave rib pattern on the side and rope mouldings at both ends; on a short quadrangular plinth. The upper rim of the basin shows a metal staple for the locking of a missing (?) cover. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original late-12th century church here].
