The remains of a stone [granite] baptismal font stand outside the church now [July 2012]; the fragment of the roughly-hemispherical basin still retains parts of an ondulating vine running between two thin roll mouldings all around the sides; on the underbowl are a few diagonal ribs in a sparse pattern all around; the basin is raised on a cylindrical pedestal base decorated also with diagonal ribbed pattern; the remains of the basin show a few reddish stains that may correspond to metal staples used to repair the large cracks on its surface. No cover present.
