Click to view
The present font in this church consists of a large hemispherical basin with a roll moulding at the upper rim as its only ornamentation; the side are almost vertical but the underbowl is rounded; raised on a squat low conical base. It is probably not from the original period of this church, but a later-medieval replacement. A crude wooden cover of modern appearance is present.
