The present font in this church appears to be of a later date than that of the earliest part of the fabric of the building, ca. 1164; the font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a diagonal ribbed pattern, and a short circular pedestal base of two volumes, although it may be all one piece. Round, flat and plain wooden cover; modern. The font is located in an awkward spot, between a confessional(?) and the west wall, its back facing the north wall. It is unlikely that this would have been the font of the original mid-12th century church here.
