Font Notes: Click to view

The present baptismal font in this late-9th century church is relatively modern, probably 17th-century, and possibly a composite font; it consists of a polygonal [hexagonal? / octagonal?] basin with a pronounced upper rim and a curved underbowl decorated with blank panels; the basin is painted; it is raised on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with a garland on rach side, and a moulded lower base also octagonal; the stone of the two parts of the base is different from that of the basin, as is the style, which suggest a later date. The wooden cover is polygonal and flat, with a cross-bar metal lock.
