The font in use in the former monastery church appears relatively modern, a polygonal basin with tall plain side and a rounded underbowl, raised on a short polygonal moulded base. There is a large tub basin outside the front of the church that may quite possibly be the medieval font of this church; it is disused and serves as planter.
