Baptisms now are done using a metal baptismal dish held by a 'flying' angel hanging from the ceiling, but the church still has the remains of an old stone font; it consists of a quatrefoil-shaped basin, a cylindrical pedestal base and a square lower base; both basin a nd pedestal base show a central drain. No font cover present.
