Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with plain sides rounding at the underbowl, which ends in a floral and foliage motif all around; raised on a cylindrical pedestal base and a splaying lower base with a moulding at the top end; irregular plinth appears to have been re-cut; dated probably from the 16th-century reconstruction of the nave. No font cover present but there is a metal staple at the upper rim from an old cover. The basin well has been partitioned vertically leaving on the sides slightly larger to accommodate the central drain; the partition appears to be a later addition.
