SIPA [IPA.00007653] [www.monumentos.pt/Site/APP_PagesUser/SIPA.aspx?id=7653] [accessed 23 May 2017] reports two stone baptismal fonts inside this church; of this one SIPA notes: "No exterior, no ângulo da fachada principal com o campanário, conserva uma pia baptismal gomeada, de tipologia românica", the location referring to the former presence of this font outside the church, by the bell tower corner; since the font has been moved to the interior of the church where it now [April 2017] stands in the company of the 17th-century font and a stone holy-water stoup. The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, and a ribbed pattern framed atop with round arch-heads; a large piece has been cut off the side of the basin to fit the lock of an old cover; the squat base is round and plain. No cover present.
