Click to view
The baptismal font in this church consists of a bucket-shaped basin raised on three columns with stylised capitals and basis; the surface of the basin has two parallel grooves at its only ornamentation. The basin is covered in whitewash and appears to have been re-tooled; without on-site close inspection it is difficult to determine whether it is an old font that has been altered, or a modern one. Metal low-dome cover with Greek-cross finial.
