Click to view
Monolithic baptismal font of dodecagonal shape; the basin has plain vertical sides and a thin moulding at the bottom, a moulding that separates the basin from the tapering and slightly concave hexagonal (?) base. There is obvious damage to the upper rim and sides that has been repaired with new stone inserts; the damage was probably caused by the metal staples of an old cover, but there is no cover on the font now; there is a metal baptismal dish in place.
