Noted and partially illustrated in Wulf (2014): baptismal font consisting of a moulded octagonal basin octagonal with an inscription around its sides, raised on an octagonal pedestal base and a square lower base; there is a moulding at the centre-ring position, between basin and base. As it is often the case with northern fonts, there is a brass baptismal dish rather than a cover.
