Church Notes: castle church originally ca.1090; re-build 16thC
The present font is modern probably 18th-century; it consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with mouldings, raised on a round stem and a round lower base with four arms sticking out, some of them ending in human masks; no cover present, but the upper rim has drilled holes likely from a previous cover. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11thC church here]
