Dictionnaire historique et archéologique du Département du Pas-de-Calais (Arras: Commission départementale des Monuments historiques, 1875), vol. 3, p. 141-142: "Les fonts baptismaux accusent le style roman: ils sont formés d'une pierre monolithe avec quatre colonnes aux angles, entourant la cuve. La partie supérieure est un tailloir ou carré sans aucun ornement." The font is mentioned in Paul Joanne's Dictionnaire géographique et administratif de la France et de ses colonies (Paris: Hachette, 1894), vol. 3, p. 1358, simply as "fonts baptismaux romans". Noted in Enlart (1902) as a 12th century square mounted font on a five-column base. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM62000612]: "Cuve baptismale à quatre colonnes [grès] 13e siècle". The square basin is plain; the base consists of five clustered columns, a broad central shaft and four angle supports, the capitals of which constitute the underbowl; the lower base is also square, with very thick mouldings around the columns; plain square plinth. [NB: we are baffled by the appearance of the upper end of the font; it appears to be a square of stone decorated with leaves at the angles; on top of it is a conical metal cover with and orb-and-cross finial -- is the square part stone? if so, is it part of the font or the cover? neither? -- the entry for Embry in the Dictionnaire historique... [cf. supra] describes it as "tailloir ou carré sans aucun ornement", the last part of which is incorrect, as it has foliated motifs at the angles].
