Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin of yellowish granite, its outer surface divided into panels both on the basin sides and the underbowl; there is evidence of two old cover hardware anchoring spots in the upper rim, as well as one on the side in which a lock was inserted; the inner basin has been divided into two by a cemented partition, division that appears modern, certainly 16thC or later; the octagonal pedestal base appears to be a later addition. There is no cover present.
