A stone baptismal font located now [11 April 2010] outside the church; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a row of scallops just below the upper rim; raised on a moulded pedestal of quadrangular shape that may, or, more likely, may not be the original. The coarse granite basin is badly infected with moss and lichen and is being used as a planter in the churchyard.
