Click to view
The baptismal font in this church is likely a composite object, the lower base being chronologically possibly the earliest, but it in itself a rather odd piece: it appears cross-shaped, the outer extremes of the arms carved with bases that would have had colonnettes on them; the octagonal basin is plain and has a round underbowl, also plain; the broad pedestal base is cylindrical, with a single roll moulding atop. No cover present.
