Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a rounded basin of coarse granite raised on a round-to-octagonal pedestal base that may be a (later?) replacement; the inner well of the basin has been partitioned, a later modification; there are several spots of damage and repairs around the upper rim of the basin that suggest damage caused by metal anchors from an old font cover. The present wooden cover, round, flat and plain, is modern.
