Font Notes:
An object used now as a holy-water stoup inside the church was probably a baptismal font originally; the basin has two inner wells, one large and one small, the smaller one like an appendix to the otherwise normal-size polygonal basin; the large basin is octagonal at the upper rim but lower down it turns dodecagonal (?); the small basin has five irregular sides plus the one where it is attached to the larger basin; the small well has a drain hole in its centre; the moulded pedestal base is round. There is no cover present but the upper rim of the larger basin has a recess that would have accommodated a round cover.
