Click to view
The present baptismal font is fairly modern, perhaps even of the 18th-century re-building of this church; it has had a rough life. It consists of a roughly hemispheric basin with a broad but flat moulding around the upper end, and a gadrooned pattern on the underbowl; raised on a round-to-square pedestal base unmatched to the basin. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 12th-century church here, of which there are some interesting remains].
