Click to view
Baptismal font of octagonal shape and monolithic design without markings for basin and base; decorated with a large quatrefoiled motif inscribing a rosette on each side. No cover present but damage to the upper rim may be due to the stone splitting where a metal anchoring for an earlier cover existed. The font is likely from the earlier church demolished at the time of the construction of the present one circa 1907.
