Church Notes: church re-built 18thC -- M. Louvrier of Golancourt, France, informed us that the church was used as a "infirmerie militaire" in 1918.
The font here is noted in the Louis Graves' Précis statistique sur le canton de Guiscard, arrondissement de Compiègne (Oise) (1850: 45): "Les fonts baptismaux, très-anciens, représentent un vase soutenu par quatre colonnes." Noted in much the same terms in Henry d' Arbois De Jubainville's Répertoire archéologique du département de l'Aube (1867: 137). Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 12th-century square mounted font from the atelier de Villers-Carbonnel in Somme ornamented with a blind arcade. The baptismal font is a variant of the square table-top type typical of the Tournai workshops, but fairly close to the original design: flat square ornamented upper basin (in this font the variation are the trimmed corners) with a rounded underbowl. The base consists of a central broad column with four corner colonnettes whose large leaf capitals connect with the sides of the basin forming thus the corners of the underbowl; the lower base is multi-lobed, cushion-like, again, a common characteristic of the type, and there is a lower plinth, square and plain. The sides of the basin are ornamented with a very regular arcade of round arches, five arches per side; each of the trimmed corners has a large leaf motif on it, each different from the other. Like some of the finest Tournai fonts, the spandrels of the upper basin surface, around the basin well, are also ornamented, in this case with small carved leaves. There is a metal cover on it, a low-dome made of copper with a small cross finial. The font is in fair shape but the soft sandstone has suffered in some areas where repairs show. The font is still used for baptisms today. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60000873]: "Cuve baptismale à infusion. En calcaire (en plusieurs éléments) : taillé, poli, décor dans la masse, décor en relief. Les fonts baptismaux sont composés d'un support circulaire central cantonné de quatre colonnettes, reposant sur une base mouluré ; chacune des quatre colonnettes est couronnée d'un chapiteau feuillagé encadrant la partie inférieure de la cuve baptismale et portant l'encadrement supérieur de cette cuve. L'encadrement est décoré d'une arcature en plein cintre et dans chaque angle coupé d'une feuille plaquée. 3e quart XIIe siècle. Classé depuis le 25/01/1913."
