Holy-water stoup located inside the church, to the right of the doorway; it consists of three pieces that were probably not matched originally, all three of different types of granite; the basin is roughly hemispherical and decorated with a band of ribbed pattern on the lower sides and underbowl; the upper base is round and splaying out, moulded at the bottom and very eroded; the lower base is a round, almost cylindrical block with a large notch or groove. [NB: we have no information on the corresponding baptismal font of the period, which is probably the 16th century, date of the original fabric of the church itself].
