Click to view
The stone baptismal font in this church is of much later date than the church itself; it consists of an oval basin decorated on its front with an emblem that includes two round shields with their coats-of-arms framed in a scroll at the bottom, and topped with a crown; it is raised on a baluster-type square pedestal base. The dome-shaped cover appears plain. There are two octagonal mounted stoups probably late date, one at each side of the entramceway; they are painted in bright colours. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 12th-century church here].
