Click to view
Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin with a depression marking the underbowl but otherwise plain, raised on a quadrangular base, also plain; the basin has damage on one side, perhaps related to a former cover anchoring; central drain hole. No cover present. [NB; the church is said to have been consecrated in 903 AD, but this font is probably of a later iteration].
