Font Notes: Click to view font notes

Baptismal font of granite consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round pedestal stem and a square lower base; the basin, which has a single moulding at the upper rim and is otherwise plain, appears to have been re-tooled; the two elements of the base could be a modern replacement. [NB: the font is not listed in Mackeprang (1941) which may mean that it is not medieval]. Exterior tympanum on church depicts Adoration of Magi and Flight to Egypt - compositions similar to those used by Semi-Byzantios workshop.
