The present baptismal font in this church consists of a round basin with tapering side; there is a roll moulding at the upper rim, with a thinner moulding a few inches below; the rest of the basin sides and underbowl are decaorated with a ribbed pattern, the shallow ribs framed by piping on the sides, and square at the top; a moulding at the bottom; no real base. The upper rim may have had a couple of staples in it. Centre drain; no lining. The font is probably from the 16th or 17th century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original Romanesque church here].
