The church was extensively re-modelled in 1872, although several 12th century features were retained (eg doorway & pillars). The font dates from this remodelling and is of octagonal form. The bowl has alternate large & small sides and stands on four columns with an infill core between them. All stands on a roughly circular stone platform. The font is very ornately decorated on all sides with religious scenes on the wide panels and flowers on the small ones. An excellent series of detailed pictures can be seen on the (visit link) website.
