Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a granite basin of roughly cylindrical shape, with a large protruding moulding at the upper rim, where there are four metals staples from an old cover; the sides of the basin have several rather crudely-executed ornamental carvings: two large fleurs-de-lis with split lower ends, a salrire cross and a vase (?); between the two floral symbols is a Larin cross raisen on a triangular mound; following onto the right is a saltire cross; raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a round lower base or plinth, to which an octagonal extension appears to have been added at a later date. No cover present, but the basin retains four metal staples in its upper rim [NB: there may have been more earlier, as one part of the upper rim is damaged, most likely by another metal staple splitting the stone at some point].
