Baptismal font of stone consisting of a totally plain roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a round moulded base. No cover present but there is evidence of an earlier font cover: anchoring plug and metal staple in the upper rim of the basin. No cover present. Partly painted section of the base. The stone holy-water stoup by the south entranceway could be also of about the same date.
