Baptismal font consisting of a roughly-hemispherical basin decorated with a broad flat moulding below the upper rim, raised on a pedestal base of clustered colonnettes. The font appears to have had damage repaired in several areas. No cover present [NB: it is quite possible that basin and base are of different priods, the base earlier?]
