Church Notes: church here documented in the 13thC
Baptismal font of granite consisting of three volumes, perhaps two pieces, as the basin and the stem appear to have been hdwed from a single block; roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a row of ball motif around and broad indentation of the sides; the stem of the base appears polygonal, and has ball motif on its sides; the lower base appears rather amorphous and damaged, perhaps round originally. No cover present but a large flat stone is now [August 2010] on the font. The font appears disused and is a crude work. There is a stone holy-water stoup in the opposite corner of the nave, at the southwest end, but we have no information on it.
