Baptismal font here consisting of a cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl, all plain, on a short round pedestal and a round-to-square lower base, the latter clearly a modern addition or replacement; the font itself doen not appear to amtch the date of the fabric of the church, and is probably a later replacement of the original 11th-12th century vessel. [cf. BSI entry Orna de Gallego No. 2 for the holy-water stoup here]
