Baptismal font listed in Mackeprang (1941).

Den groft huggede og øjensynlig noget mishandlede font er gjort i et stykke. Den er 60 cm høj, tvm. 80 cm, og er opsat vestligst i koret på en lav muret fod. 1769 stod fonten i tårnrummet,70 1862 i korets nordside ved sakristidøren og 1886 ved korbuens nordvange. 1891 blev fonden renset for maling,15 og 1935 fik den sin nuværende plads." Two additional fragments which may have been originally parts of a font are also included in the DK entry: "Døbefonte? En cylindrisk kumme af rød lig granit, tvm. 100 cm, 62 cm høj, nu i en gård i Borre,85 er formentlig rest af en romansk døbefont. I det østre kirkedige er indsat et fragment af en kummebund i grå granit, 38×38 cm, der ligeledes kan stamme fra en font."
