Click to view
The present baptismal font in this church consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with foliage motifs, raised on a round moulded pedestal base and a round-to-square lower base; it appears to be of a late date, perhaps 17th- or even 18th century. No cover present but the upper side of the basin has a metal anchorage spot for an earlier cover. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
