There are two objects located at the the west end, one at either side of the entranceway; on the right [north] side is a stone baptismal font that appears to be heptagonal, decorated with graded moulding on the underbowl; it has a wooden cover of the rim-buffet type, common in this area, some [three?] of the vertical panels carved and hinged to give access to the inside; the top is pyramidal and has a knob finial.
