Click to view
The baptismal font in this 13th-century church is of much later date thann the original fabric; it consists of a fairly shallow round basin with a tall chamfered underbowl, which does not translate into depth at the inner basin; raised on a squat cylindrical pedestal base; all plain; the basin is either partly built into a corner wall, or cemented to it. There is no cover apparent but there appear to be drilled holes in the upper rim, perhaps for the anchoring of an old cover. A modern oval container appears to have been cemented to the upper rim, perhaps to contain the chrism, etc. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 13th-century church here.
