Click to view
Listed by Enlart (1902) among a group of metal fonts with stone bases which may well be of later date than the basin itself . [BSI visited Colleville in June 2000 and were told that the font had disappeared a long time ago. No other details available]. The present font is modern, as is its cover and the holy-water stoups inside this church.
