Click to view
Baptismal font of stone, probably of the 17th century, of the baluster-shape type common on the island; it shows traces of paint on it. The square plinth is probably what is often referred to in some sources as the 12th-century base ["fot"] of the medieval font [cf. Index entry for Fardhem No. 1 for the fragment of the medieval font here]
