Description

Substantial baptismal pool, sunk into the ground over the course of a stream, and surrounded by tiered seating, giving the whole an amphi-theatre-like appearance. Brick and concrete (replacing or encasing an earlier stone structure). The concrete-floored pool is flanked to the north by four-tiered arcs of seating, and to the south by a wider 6-tier curving span; steps lead in to and out from the pool to west and east. Above the western (entrance) steps, a boulder incorporated into the structure served as a pulpit for the preacher.
