Two fonts are reported in this church. The second one is a baptismal font of limestone of the 13th or 14th century; it consists of a plain cylindrical basin with tall underbowl chamfer, also plain, a middle section or stem, also circular but with a pronounced roll moulding, and a plain and round splaying lower base; the basin has been fitted with a metal cinch, probably because it had developped cracks in it. No cover present.
