There are two vessels inside the church at the far [west] end of the nave, one to each side of the entranceway, presumably a baptismal font and a holy-water stoup, both of stone; the one on the south side has a polygonal basin with a tapering underbowl and is raised on a pedestal base, also polygonal; the vessel on the north side has a round moulded basin raised on a pedestal side [NB: we do not have any further information on the two objects].
