The cast iron baptismal font in this church dates from 1840, but there is a damaged medieval baptismal font of stone in the churchyard. A baptismal font thought to be from the original 13th-century church here lies broken and disused in the churchyard; it is a font of basic crude workmaship: a round bulging basin on a squat round base; all plain. The basin has a large part of one side missing. No cover present.
