The baptismal font of this church, located in an alcove at the west end of the nave, beneath de gallery, consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a cylindrical pedestal base decorated with a roll moulding at the bottom and a short square plinth. By all apearances it looks like a late-medieval font; the basin is damaged and shows evidence of repair; one of the sides of the upper rim shows a gap and missing stone as well as the presence of a metal plug, probably related to an anchoring for a former font cover. The are two odd things next to the font: 1)a very small font-like object stands to the left of it; it is tiny, about half as tall as the pedestal base of the font, has two volumes defined by a groove around the middle, and its inner basing shows a drain hle, just like a regular font would; 2)now built into the ground just in front of the font is a circular stone exactly the width of the lower base of the font, and appears to have a centre hole now blocked. An additional curiosity in this church is the stone lectern; it appears to have been carved from a monolithic stone, perhaps a column, and has the top volume decorated with a row of ball motif between two mouldings; likely medieval, although the present church is said to be Baroque.
