Click to view
Stone baptismal font of late date; it consists of a quadrangular basin with a thick 'lip' moulding at the upper rim decorated with tongue-in-groove pattern; the sides have garland motifs all around; the pedestal base is also quadrangular and divided into two sections by a thick rope moulding; the upper half is decorated with scrolled foliage, the one below with linked loop motifs; there is lower base half-buried in the flooring now, a pattern of ball-in-socket motif partially visible. A box-like wooden font cover is on the font. [NB: we have no information of the font from the original late-13th century church here].
