Church Notes: church mentioned 878; 11thC priory church of St-André-de-Bàgé; became parochial 17thC -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00116541]: "1ère moitié 12e siècle"
Listed by Enlart (1902) in a group of fonts without "aucun élément qui permette de les dater avec certitude". Illustrated in the interior of the church in Mémoire [ref.: APMH00117639]. The priory church itself is dated to the 12th century (France, 1985), but the font itself is unlikely to date that early; to make matters worse the basin at least has been heavily re-tooled.
