(2002: 321 ill. 20) shows shows a view of the SW transept with a baptismal font in it, but does not seem to match Enlart's description; the object in the later source cosists of a polygonbal basin mounted on a cylindrical pedestal base, both almost totally plain except for the roll mouldings on the base]
