Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 14th-15th century font mounted on a square base, a development of the earlier five-support bases. The entry for this church in Eglises Ouvertes [http://eglisesouvertes.eu/church_detail.asp?n=saint-maurice&churchID=1406] [accessed 2 July 2017] notes: "Le baptistère et la grande crucifixion de céramique au fond du chœur sont également des réalisations des moines de Wisques, qui ont restauré cette église du XIIe s. dans les années 50." The font in this church at present [January 2012] is modern, from the 1950s, a round stylised stone tub on a two-step pedestal plinth; tall pyramidal cover with orb-and-cross finial. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font noted in Enlart [cf. supra]].
