Baptismal font of very crude manufacture and appalling state of conservation; it consists of a plain roughly hemispherical basin, but quite irregular, raised on a short cylindrical pedestal base; a square piece was cut into the upper area of the basin side to fit a lock; the lock is no longer in place. The wooden cover is round and flat; appear modern.
