Limestone baptismal font of the late-13th century, probably from an earlier church here; said to be by the Vehma master; roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a series of pointed arch-heads with cinquefoiled window inserts, raised on a round pedestal base with a roll moulding at the top; the upper rim of the basin has a large notch, perhaps the site of an earlier anchoring for cover hardware.
