Font Notes:
Click to view
Baptismal font of stone consisting of an octagonal basin with an arcade of sixteen blind trefoiled arches below a vine all around, raised on an octagonal pedestal base with an arcade of eight blind pointed arches, and an octagonal lower base decorated with graded mouldings. It appears that the font has been reconstructed, probably after the massive damage suffered by this church in WWII; the two arcades appear to be original. The font cover is modern. There is a modern font as well in this church.
