The entry in SIPA [ref.: IPA.00001465] reports two granite holy-water stoups ["duas pias de água benta hemisféricas"] by the entranceway, but no dates for them, though presumably from the 17th-18th century re-building date, but not a baptismal font. There is an object resembling a crude baptismal font outside the church; it consists of a round, crudely rendered basin on a cylindrical pedestal base; both plain, made of coarse granite; the inner basin has a side drain hole, not known whether it is original or not.
