A round holy-water stoup decorated with a scroll containing the date 1595 in it; the upper rim of the is quite prominent in the form of a lip-moulding. The present baptismal font, consisting of a round basin raised on round fluted pedestal base is modern; it has a double-dome brass cover with an orb-and-cross finial.
