Click to view
The present font appears to be relatively modern; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a concave rib pattern, raised on a round-to-square moulded base. No cover present but there is a metal staple in the upper rim, evidence of an earlier cover. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11th-12th century church here].
