The baptismal font in use in this church is modern, a decorated octagonal basin on an octagonal-to-square pedestal base. An old tub-shaped font, likely from the original 12th-century church here is also in the church, now disused; it is plain, bears general damage, specially to the upper rim; no font cover present but it shows evidence of anchoring spots for an olf cover in the much damaged upper rim.
