Church Notes: church in ruins until 2004 when it was rescued by the locals
The baptismal font in this diminutive church consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a quadrangular base, the latter probably modern; the monolithic basin block has an extension downwards with a single moulding on it; the shape of the basin suggests that it may have been meant to stand on a cylindrical pedestal base.
