Baptismal font made of granite and probably dated to the time of the church, ca. 1250; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin with a very short stem below the underbowl, on a short round-to-square base; said to have been formerly painted in strong colours; moved from its previous location ca. 1980. No cover present.
