It is described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 336), as an, 'ancient Baptismal Font, built for safety into the south window of the chancel, is of freestone; it is octagonal and well-cut, on the outside and ornamented on the top surface of the rim. It still retains traces of the iron hinge which secured the lid. The bowl, which is round, is 19 in. [0.48m] wide and 8 in. [0.2m]deep, and is perforated at the bottom'.
