Click to view
Strange-looking baptismal font that appears to have been made up re-using capitals from the original church of the 12th century; there appear to be several foliated capitals cemented together into a hexagonally shaped font; a plain wooden cover has been affixed to the upper rim with a small lid that opens to give access to the inner well. It is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM02000799] as 12th-century without further comment.
