The present font in this 1813 church is probably dated from around that time: chalice-shaped vessel consisting of an octagonal basin decorated with tracery, a centre ring also of octagonal shape decorated with an angel face on each side, and a splying octagonal stem adorned with tracery. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here]
