Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 12 century (?) Tournai square mounted font on a 5-column base with heads at 90-degree angles on the basin sides. [NB: we have no confirmation but assume Enlart's font is/was in the abbey church -- the present font in this church [cf. ImagesArea] does not match Enlart's description].
