Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 12th-century Marquise font on a five-support base, similar to the font at Nogent-l'Artaud. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62000808] as a sandstone font of the 13th century "A quatre colonnes", meaning on four outer colonnettes, but having a broad central shaft. Listed in Oursel (1994: 231) in a group of fonts sharing a general design and made from a local limestone of ochre colour known as 'pierre de Marquise'; fonts listed in that group are Dannes, Condette, Audrehem, Cormont [quatrefoil shaped basin], Henneveux, Hervelinghem, Saint-Martin-Choquel. Described and illustrated in Drake (2002: 177, etc. and pl. 151). The font has a square basin with very short sides and a deep hemispherical underbowl which matches in height the tall leaf capitals of the columns of the base, as is common in this font design; the columnar base consists of a broad central shaft and four detached colonnettes at the angles, all five decorated with roll mouldings, as is the square lower base.
