Ces fonts du 12e siècle sont en pierre et se composent d’un gros fût court, de forme ovale, sur un socle surmonté d’un tore. La cuve est formée d’une tablette carrée reliée au fût par quatre feuilles d’eau aux angles. Aujourd’hui ces fonts sont recouverts d’un couvercle en bois ayant une forme pyramidale. Ils sont arrivés jusqu’à nous presque intacts malgré la destruction de l’église, en 1914."
