[NB: refs. for Saintenoy & von Fizenne needed] Included by Cloquet (1895) among the fonts of the Mosan type with a round basin that has a human head carved at each of the four 90 degree angles. Described by Enlart (1902) in the same way, but he adds that the base is of the "cinq supports" type, although a later reference makes it Tournai. In Ligtenberg (1915) with measurements; gives font location at the northwest corner of the church; the illustration in Ligtenberg (ibid.) includes the proposed restoration in Fisenne [von Fizenne]. The font, as it stands at present has been much restored; the basin with the four human heads has survived and has been cleaned up; the outer colonnettes of the base are missing; the whole of the lower base has been lost, replaced by a modern circular base. The metal [brass?] cover is of low-dome shape with graded mouldings; cross finial.
