Click to view
Baptimal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with two parallel rope mouldings framing the basi sides, raised on a round pedestal base with a thick roll moulding atop; the drain appears to exit out of a cut in the moulding of the base. The font did not show in an 1899 photograph of the east end; when the church was re-built after its collaps ca. 1900 the font appeared located beneath the new chancel arch, in the centre; now [ca. 2010] the font is located at the east end of the nave, near the south wall.
