Baptismal font of a common late-medieval design: moulded octagonal basin with graded moulding and foliage motifs on the underbowl, raised on an octagonal pedestal with trefoiled niches or windows on the sides, a moulded lower base. The fon is either 15th-16th century, or, more likely, 19th-century. On its flat cover stands a large statue of the Baptism of Christ; it is not clear whether the statue is part of the cover or not. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
