An object described as a baptismal font inside this church, although it is most likely a holy-water stoup: shallow octagonal basin with protruding rim moulding and a floral motif on each side; foliated capital atop a traceried octagonal stem; moulded lower base. 16th- or 19th-century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 12th-century church here].
