The present baptismal font in this church is of a late date, perhaps even as late as the 18th century, when much of the re-building of the church took place; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a pattern of concave ribs with inserts, on an octagonal pedestal base with mouldings, four spurs on the lower base. There is no cover present but there are two staples of an earlier(?) cover in the basin upper rim. A holy-water stoup mounted on the interior of the south wall, by the entranceway, has an inscription with an 18th-century date on it.
