Church Notes: church is mid-17thC, but there may have been an earlier church here
There are two objects located now outside the church, one of which may be the original mid-17th century baptismal font here; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin with moulded sides and a plain unerbowl, raised on a plain pedestal base that may very well be a modern replacement. Next to it, also outside the church, is another such vessel, perhaps a stoup, consisting of a shallow round basin decorated with a gadrooned pattern on the underbowl, on a round bulbous upper base, and a square pyramidal lower base.
