Click to view
Sandstone font consisting of three volumes (basin and stem appear to be one block): octagonal basin with a trefoiled arch-head on each side; plain tapering octagonal pedestal base; plain chamfered octagonal lower base. There is drain hole on the lower side of one of the panels very likely to have been made when the font was used for farming or gardening rather that liturgical uses; the damage to the upper rim and sides may indicate that the font was removed from the church for a period and used for non-liturgical purposes. No cover present.
