Font Notes:
A B&W photograph taken in the semi-ruined interior of the church here shows a large(?) round basin of stone directly on the ground, clearly disused; it appears to be roughly hemispherical in shape, with a broad upper rim below which is a scotia, and farther down a row of large semicircles all around; a rough estimate would suggest a 15th to 17th-century date for it [NB: there was a church renovation in 1994, and the basin may have been restored at the time, but we have not been able to confirm that either way].
