There is an oddly shaped vessel in this church that may have been the baptismal font here, or perhaps used as one; it consists of a basin of irregular hexagonal shape, the back side long and 90-degree angles to the left and right sides; the font is formed by the remaining three sides; all six side are vertical and plain; the pedestal base is hexagonal to square with chamfered sides; the shape of the basin suggests that it was intended to have the long side against a wall. No cover present.
