Turning back towards the west end of the church, the baptistry is entered through a wrought iron screen by T. Elsey & Co. (1924). The arch above the screen is filled with a grille of green tiles. The font, of red and green Italian marble, is by Farmer & Brindley, and its gilded wood cover, representing a church with open doors, by Nathaniel Hitch . The cover was given by Mr Eric Boothby in memory of his wife, Mrs Younger's daughter. The window, by Douglas Strachan, Aberdeen, represents John the Baptist. The fine Paschal candlestick, present in the baptistry except during Eastertide when it may be found in the chancel, was the work of local blacksmith Mr Harvey.
