A baptismal font originally from the old church (in runs now) appears to have been moved to the one. The font, which is in a sorry state, full of damaged areas and badly patched up with cement, consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a short round base; totally plain. The design and general aspect is of a late-Medieval period rather than Romanesque.
