Vivier-Seguin (1941) report this font as missing [ca. 1941] and quote Pigéon's brief description: rectangular basin on capitals". The present font in use in this church is polygonal, decorated with three pointed windows on each side of the basin and graded mouldings on the pedestal base; the font and its matching cover, a low dome with cross finial, appear modern. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the missing medieval font].
