Baptismal font consisting of a round tapering basin with an indented underbowl chamfer, raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base; the weathered appearance of the basin suggests a long exposure to the elements which may indicate the font was recovered after a long period of disuse. The style of the font does not match the date of the present church.
