Baptismal font that appears to be made up of two umatched pieces: the basin is round and rather irregular, decorated with a parallel moulding at the upper rim, otherwise plain; the pedestal base consists of a short cylindrical stem and a wider moulded lower base; the last two volumes may be a single block. The date of the font is not clear; it does not appear to be early enough to be the one from the original 11th-century church here; the basin could be medieval.
