Click to view
The baptismal font inside this hamlet chapel [formally parish church?] appears to be a composite of three unrelated pieces: the present basin is hemispherical and of fairly regular shape; below it is an irregular and cruder round piece, larger than the basin and itself shaped like an old basin; raised on a plain quadrangular pedestal. No cover present.
