LIsted by Enlart as a 12th century pedestal font (Enlart, 1902). Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62000051] as a sandstone baptismal font of the 12th century. The entry for this church in the village web [https://www.andres62340.fr/la-commune/historique/] [accessed 11 August 2022] notes: "Il reste aussi de l'abbaye d'Andres les fonts baptismaux de l'ancienne église détruite au même moment que l'abbaye. Ils ont été classés monuments historiques le 1er mai 1908. Ces fonts avaient été mutilés et le pied enfoui dans le cimetière. A l'initiative de Mr Gates et à l'intervention de la commission départementale des monuments historiques du Pas de calais, ils furent restaurés en 1912. Ils se trouvent dans l'église actuelle". Odd-looking font that may be a composite of unrelated parts; the basin is round at the top, with a broad roll-moulding like rim, on a square frame; the four spandrels in the corners are filled with a large crudely-executed leaf [water-leaf?]; the underbowl round and plain, tapering towards the end; the inside well has been altered by the addition of a vertical partition cemented to the old basin; a metal staple from an old cover remains inserted in the upper rim, but there is no cover present now; the pedestal base is a circular column, plain but for a single moulding atop; the lower base or plinth appears to have been practically buried in the flooring.
