Baptismal font that is partly built into the wall of the nave, leaving only five of the eight original sides of the basin visible; the basin, which appears to be the original, is octagonal with vertical plain sides and a plain chamfered underbowl; the base is splayed to a square lower base, all plain, but probably a later replacement; completely covered in white-wash. Polygonal pyramid-shaped cover matching the visible sides of the basin; has locking pad to the upper rim.
