Click to view
Tub-shaped baptismal font of stone resting directly on the ground without base or plinth; there are traces of painted decoration on the sides, most of it quite faded now, but an arcade of round arches on columns is still visible and, within the arches, some scene or figural tarces still discernible. The wooden cover, flat and plain, is modern. [NB: our description is based on a single photograph [cf. ImagesArea] where, due to the angle, the font may appear to be oval].
