INFORMATION

FontID: 02938COR
Church/Chapel: Eglise paroissiale Saint-Front
Church Patron Saints: St. Front de Périgueux
Church Location: 24800 Corgnac-sur-l'Isle, France
Country Name: France
Location: Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Directions to Site: Located S of Nantheuil, on the banks of the Isle river, 27 kms NE of Perigueux.
Ecclesiastic Region: Diocèse de Périgueux et Sarlat
Historical Region: Pays Thibérien, Dordogne
Font Location in Church: Inside the church, in an alcove of the N wall of the nave
Century and Period: 12th century, Romanesque
Described by Enlart (1902) as octagonal without a base and dated to the 12th century. The monolithic font has an irregular polygonal shape at the top, one of the sides being much longer than the others giving the impresion that it was intended to be agaist the wall; the position of the font in an alcove or chapel in the north wall of the nave does not permit access to all its sides; the sides facing southwest and southeast have each an encircled Maltese cross on them; the inner basin is round; there are traces of old font cover hardware in the upper rim of the basin, but no cover present now [August 2015].
