Described and illustrated in Sulzberger (2010) as a baptismal font of stone about one meter tall, made between 1450 and 1550, consisting of an octagonal basin with shiled-shaped blank panels, raised on a moulded cylindrical base; it is fitted in what was formerly the architectural frame of the sacrament cabinet, on the N side of the chancel. The earlier font cover has been lost; the present metal cover is modern.
