Click to view
A composite font, apparently re-using a former capital from the abbey here, is noted and illustrated in Enlart (1895): "Un gros chapiteau [...] porte la vasque des fonts baptismaux de Licques, mais paraît avoir été pris à une colonne de l'abbaye". Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM62000964]: "Fonts baptismaux taillés dans deux chapiteaux [...] 12e siècle". The font consists of four volumes; the 'stem' is made up of a pair of former capitals, the bottom one inverted; the basin is octagonal with a double moulding decorating the sides; the lower base or plinth is a plain square volume with chamfered sides. No cover present. The upper side of the basin appears to be secured to the wall besides by a brace.
