Moitiers-d'Allonne / Les Moitiers-d'Allone / Les Moitiers-d'Allonne

Vivier-Seguin (1941) tried to deal with this elusive font, now [ca. 1941] in a private garden in Barneville. This granite font, an octagonal basin on an octagonal base, is believed to have come from one of the churches at Les Moitiers-d'Allone but, as V-S argue, both Notre-Dame (still active) and St-Pierre (demolished in 1920s except for the bell tower) had their fonts accounted for; at Notre-Dame, Seguin found a 18th century limestone oval basin and, at St-Pierre, in the yard, there was the debris of its limestone baptismal font made of a basin and base, both octagonal, with the date "1557" inscribed on the basin side. Consequently, argue V-S, the origin of this font must lie elsewhere, probably in Barneville itself, to whose church this font may have belonged (Vivier, 1941)
