Church Notes: church listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00082729]: "Cathédrale de Périgueux jusqu'en 1669, l'église est partiellement détruite en 1577 au cours des guerres de Religion. La travée orientale est alors restaurée. En 1907, une importante campagne de restauration, menée par l'architecte Henri Rapine, modifie l'édifice en substituant une couverture en pierre à la couverture en tuiles de la travée occidentale." -- Another source: "sur le site du temple antique dédié au dieu Mars, au début du VIe siècle, l'évêque Chronope II fait ériger la première église de Périgueux. Sur ce même site, la construction d'une nouvelle église débute au XIe siècle par la travée ouest et se termine au XIIe siècle par le chœur. Cet édifice devient la première cathédrale de Périgueux."

Listed by Enlart (1902) in a group of 15th century octagonal fonts. Noted and illustrated in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/fonts-baptismaux-de-l-eglise-saint-etienne-de-la-cite] [accessed 7 March 2014]: "fonts baptismaux anciens qui présentent une forme octogonale et sont ornés de motifs végétaux. L’aspect rustique de ces fonts baptismaux suggèrent une certaine ancienneté, mais rien ne permet de le prouver." The font consists of an octagonal basin with low-relief panels decorated with foliage; at the angles between the panels are columns; the broad octagonal pedestal base, which may be of a later date, consists of two blocks of stone, the lower one with a moulding at the bottom.
