Click to view
A font-like object located in the churchyard here; it consists of a fragment of an irregular, roughly round basin, raised on a round pedestal base, also irregular and with vertical cut in one of the sides, on a quadrangular lower base or plinth. We have no information on its origin and the dating is uncertain in view of its present state; perhaps medieval, but it may have been modified for use as a garden fountain.
