Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a pattern of diagonal ribs around the underbowl, raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a round-to-square lower base with a roll moulding at the top. There is no cover present now but the upper rim has a drilled hole that must have been made to accommodate part of the cover hardware. The font is probably later than the original church here.
