Font Notes:
Click to view
Noted by Gudiol (2008) in his 1907 visit simply as a plain immersion font. Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- ) where it is suggested that it dates from the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. Noted in Amiell (2007). On-site notes: baptismal font with graded chamfered sides, looking like a collapsible drinking glass; not a typical font of the area, but probably of about the same period as the others; there is some damage to the upper rim of the basin, although the staples of the cover are still in place.
