Click to view
On-site notes: in a room off the side south of the nave, now used as storage, is the old stone font of this church; it consists of a plain heptagonal basin raised on a heptagonal pedestal base decorated with a single thick moulding; to the side of it is a secondary or auxiliary basin of semicircular shape, raised on a half-cylindrical pedestal base; the main basin is round on the inside and has no drain hole; there is a metal (lead?) insert that fits into it; the secondary basin is small and shows that it was broken and later repaired. The two parts of this font do not appear to have been part of the original design, the addition of the secondary basin and base perhaps a later event; there is however a draingae channel that goes from the secondary basin into the side of the main basin and, presumably, down through its side, although the side itself is now covered by the secondary base, itself cemented to the main base. The wooden cover is octagonal and flat, with a small trap door in the centre for access to the basin interior. There is a font or stoup in use, of black marble, consisting of an oval basin and a baluster pedestal base [measurements: int. diam: 43x59 cm; ext. diam.: 52x69 cm; basin h.: 18 cm; base h.: 65 cm; toral h.: 83 cm]
