Click to view
The baptismal font from the demolished medieval church was moved to the new church built in 1845; it consists of a plain cylindrical basin with a chamfered underbowl, raised on a round moulded base. Photographs on the 1910s show it topped with a metal cover-like support of a tiny baptismal dish; later photographs show it with a usual baptismal dish instead.
