Stone baptismal font located in this church; it consists of an octagonal basin with rounded underbowl decorated with a lip moulding at the upper rim, a pattern of trefoiled and quatrefoiled tracery all the way to the top of the stem; the octagonal pedestal base is decorated with arch tracery simulating eight niches, but they are too shallow to hold statues in them, unless they were painted; on a lower base also octagonal decorated with a moulding and eight spurs. There is no font cover present, but the inner basin has a hemispherical metal insert with handles on the inside.
