L'escalier à vis permettant d'atteindre l'étage des cloches date de l'époque moderne. Le clocher se termine par une ligne horizontale tandis que la terminaison en pignon paraît romane.

Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 13th century font with a round basin. Listed as an early baptismal font in the web version -augmented- of the Églises romanes de Haute Auvergne (tome 1, pp. 45-50) [cantalroman.free.fr/Histoire/quotid.htm]. Described and illustrated as an early font in www.cybercantal.org/ecole/chalinargues/eglise.htm: the basin is roughly bucket-shaped, ornamented with a broad band of floral and star moyifs in different shapes; the sides of the basin are divided into five panels by plain vertical mouldings [NB: only five panels are visible because the font is half-built into the wall]; of these [L->R] one is a six-point star with woven lines with a rosette in its centre; the next is a 8-point two-strand braided roundel with a rosette inscribed, and its arms also made into rosettes; the next is a motif similar to the Tudor rose, with a rosette in the centre and two braided circles of interlaced arches [the other two are not visible in the source]; the chamfered underbowl is plain. The wooden cover, probably 19th-century, is of the "rim-buffet" type, polygonal with vertical sides ending in a crown or crenellated motif around the upper end; above that the next section is pyramidal, in the same polygonal shape; two of the panels, the front ones, are hinged and open to give access to the well of the font; since the font is partly built into the wall, the cover has no back. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM15000133]: " fonts baptismaux [...] Cinq panneaux séparés par des colonnettes, empatées aux extrémités [...] 13e siècle". [NB: although the various sources date the font to the Romanesque period, chiefly to the 13th century, the complex rosette motifs suggest a later date]. The font is now half-embeded in the south wall, to the left of the entranceway, but it have originally stood on its own, all sides visible to the congregation.
