Listed in Enlart (1902) as a 13th century footless tub-shaped font with a blind arcade on the basin sides as ornament. Listed in Palissy [ref.: IM78000493]: "fonts baptismaux [...] calcaire [...] 2 cuves. Cuve doublée de plomb [...] 13e siècle" [NB: the inner basin is single but the 18th-century lead insert is divided into two compartments or 'cuves']. The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) dates it also to the 13th century and places them in the old octagonal Romanesque bell tower. Le patrimoine des communes des Yvelines (2000) describes and illustrates the font as monolithic and oval, with deeply carved Gothic arches ornamenting the sides; the inner well of the basin is a 18th-century lead insert with two compartments; the sides of the basin are decorated with a deeply-carved arcade of pointed arches on columns with capitals and bases. There are traces of paint on the outer sides of the basin. The font stands directly on the ground, without a plinth. No cover present.
