There are two vessels of interest in this church: a crude and plain holy-water stoup wall-mounted in the exterior, and a baptismal font in the interior; the latter consists of an octagonal basin with a single flat moulting below the upper rim, and a rounded underbowl, otherwise plain; raised on an octagonal-to-square pedestal base and a square slightly splaying lower base. The tallish wodden cover is octagonal pyramidal in shape, with a Christ and the Lamb statue finial. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here]
