The present font in this church appears relatively modern, perhaps 16th to 18th-century; it conists of an octagonal basin devoid of decoration, the underbowl rounded; octagonal pedestal base decorated with a moulding and chamfered towards the bottom to a square shape. No cover present but the basin has a metal staple on the side which may have been installed to tether a cover to. [NB: we have no information on the original font of the medieval church].
