There are two objects of our interest inside the church; one is a modern font or stoup of stone, probably of the 18th century; it consists of a round shallow basin with moulded sides and gadrooned underbowl, raised on a baluster-type slender base decorated with foliage, and a plain square plinth. It may be being used not as font or holy-water stoup; the second object has the appearance of a garden urn, foliage on the sides and upper rim and a gadrooned underbowl; on a short moulded base and a round-to-square lower base. Not known what function it has acquired inside the church. [NB: we have no information on the original font of this early-15th century church].
