Click to view
[NB: we have no information on the font of the original Gothic church here]. The present font is modern, made of a single block of reddish marble; the basin is octagonal tapering slightly towards the bottom; on a short octagonal stem and a round and octagonal lower base. There is wall-mounted stoup [location inside the church unknown; photographs available] of roughly hemispherical shape, gilded and painted, and bearing a much faded inscription below the upper rim.
