"Bénitier fixe en metal" (Chastel, 1966, p. 288). Enlart (1902, p. 783 footnote 3) also mentions an extant copper stoup in this town. Lasteyrie (1926-1927), after Fichot, mentions it as a 16th-century metal stoup. There are actually two metal stoups in this church [cf. Saint Leger pres Troyes No. 3 for the other stoup; No. for the baptismal font]. The bell-shaped cast iron stoup is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM10001976]: "bénitier [...] fonte de fer [...] En forme de cloche [...] Oeuvre complètement corrodée, oxydée. Le bénitier est posé à côté de ce qui lui sert de socle mais qui est postérieur [...] 16e siècle." It is, as noted in Palissy, in abismal condition.
