Click to view
Baptismal font with a round basin decorated with a single moulding at the upper rim; the moulding may have been patterned originally, perhaps a rope; the lower part of the font is covered in plaster, which hides whatever shape the underbowl and the base may have. There is a wooden frame on the basin top and a round cover atteched to it; modern.
