view of church exterior - west view
Scene Description: Source caption: "L'église Saint-Denis de Rieux depuis l'ouest. Les bas-côtés ont été démolis en 1815 car menaçant ruine ; ensuite la nef a été transformée en mairie, ce qui explique que l'étage sert actuellement d'habitation. Seulement le chœur et ses deux chapelles latérales identiques sont actuellement utilisés pour les offices (le maître-autel se trouvant au nord), et le transept est devenu le bas-côté ouest."

Scene Description: the font is partially visible on the left, just right of the wall-mounted stoup, left of the colourful stand -- the plan of the church interior has been much altered through the centuries -- Source caption: "Chœur, côté ouest : arcades ouvrant dans le croisillon sud et la croisée du transept. Le chœur étant désaxé par rapport à l'ancienne nef et la croisée, le croisillon nord ne communique pas avec lui."

Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 11th-12th century Tournai-like square font mounted on a single-column base [Enlart puts Rieux in Aisne, but there is no place of that name in that dept.]. The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) describes this font as having a massive octagonal support and being ornamented with a double torus and beaded-tape curlicues surrounding a human head or a rosette [sic]; the Dictionnaire dates the font to the 12th century. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60001359]: "Fonts baptismaux [calcaire] qui peuvent être datés du 12e siècle. [...] Les fonts baptismaux se composent d'un support octogonal reposant sur une base très fine de même plan et moulurée d'un tore et d'une cuve octogonale. [...] La cuve est ornée de volutes dans chacun de ses angles. Entre chacune de ces volutes, composées de deux filets encadrant des pointes de diamant, prennent place des masques humains ou des fleurs. [...] Badigeon gris. Cuve cimentée. Ancienne consolidation avec une barre de métal." The top of the basin could be described as square with chamfered angles, since the angle sides are about a quarter of the length of the other ones; the inner well is not round but irregular, almost quatrefoiled; beneath the double-moulded top is an underbowl decorated with large plant scrolls at the angles with a human head, a rosette, and a floral motif between them [NB: we only have had access to three of the sides]; a roll moulding below; the stem is octagonal, all sides approximately the same width, and plain; the lower base is also octagonal has a roll moulding all around; it appears very short. The wooden cover, octagonal, flat and plain, is modern.
