Baptismal font of stone consisting of an octagonal basin decorated with a broad flat mouldng below the upper rim, the sides plain and the underbowl rounded; raised on an octagonal pedestal base splaying on the lower third but also plain. The octagonal dome font cover look like metal but it probably gilded wood; it lacks whatever finial it originally had; there are metal staples on the basin rim to lock the cover to.
