Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin plain but for a band of fretwork around the upper side; raised on a plain slender pedestal base with a round lower base, also plain. No font cover present, but the upper rim shows evidence of repairs by stone insertion, probably in the areas where old cover hardware cracked the stone. The whole basin has been given a drastic cleaning or re-tooling.
