Listed by Enlart (1902: 778 footnote 1) as a 14-15th century baptismal font on a square base. Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de Calvados (2001, v. 1: 602) as a plain quadrangular (?) basin mounted on a square pedestal that is ornamented with columns in the corners [the base does not match the basin in shape or type of stone and is probably a replacement of the original one]; mid-dome wooden cover with orb-and-cross finial. Caumont (1846-1867, vol. 3) illustrates the font with a plain flat cover and remarks that the base had been described as 14th-century by Bouet and that it is difficult to find out if the basin is of the same period or if it has been re-done ["il est difficile de savoir si la cuve est du même temps ou si elle n'a point été refaite"]. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM14000727]: "Cuve octogonale, posée sur pied à quatre colonnes engagées, sur socle carré [...] 14e siècle". Photographs of the font taken by Chiquet in 1979 show the font before and after restoration, which must have been done on that year [cf. Mémoire [refs.: AP14W01325, AP14W01326, AP14W01327].
