Click to view
The present naptismal font in this church appears modern, probably introduced in one of the 17th- or 18th-century renovations; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin on a round bulbous pedestal base; the basin itself is decorated with a ribbed pattern all around; the base has the usual mouldings and gadroons typical of the period. A wooden font cover is in place. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font(s) of this church].
