Font Notes: Click to view font notes
The dark-marble font in this church is relatively modern compared to the church itself; it consists of a shallow round basin raised on a very slender round pedestal base, and a mouldd round-to-square lower base; the stem is carved with torsade, and the capital that tops it is decorated as well; the lower base has several roll mouldings. The metal [copper?] cover is old, shaped like a stretched dome; the finial appears to be damaged.
