Present baptismal font noted in SIPA [IPA.00011073] [www.monumentos.pt/Site/APP_PagesUser/SIPA.aspx?id=11073] [accessed 23 May 2017]: "No sub-coro, vão em arco abatido com pia baptismal e taça gomeada." The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin with a ribbed pattern of broad deeply-carved ribs all around, the upper end framed in round arch-heads; a large cut-off was made on one side of the upper rim, probably to accommodate a lock for an old cover, and there are metal plugs in the upper rim; the inner well has a centre drain; the well is divided with a vertical partition, not original but a later modification; the basin is raised on a squat round base, also decorated with ribbed pattern, the ribs laid slightly diagonally. The present font cover is modern, flat, round and plain.
