Click to view
There is a baptismal font in the south side chapel or room at the west end of the church here; it is made of black marble or Tournai limestone and consists of a round basin decorated with gadroons around the underbowl; raised on a fluted columnar base. Brass font cover with Latin cross finial. The font appears modern, of a design that could belong from the 11th to the 19th century. There probably was a font installed in the church here when it was built in the 15th-16th century inside the hospital.
