One of several 11-12th century square Tournai-like fonts mounted on a single-column base listed by Enlart (1902). Ilustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH00029374] with a photograph by Enlart [NB: the church was practically destroyed in WWI]. The survival of this font is confirmed in Richesses-en-Somme [https://www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-eglises-suite/fonts-baptismaux/fonts-bapt-du-10e-au-13e-siècle/] [accessed 7 March 2025]: "LANGUEVOISIN-QUIQUERY. 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."
