According to Vivier-Seguin's notes and illustration (1941), this font is similar to the one at Crollon, in the same diocese: rectangular basin with slightly trimmed angles; the chamfer is somewhat rounded, and unlike the Crollon one, this has a deep scotia underlining the basin sides and a moulding, well pronounced, on the short lower base on which the basin rests. V-S indicate that this font could be even later than the 17th century. The entry for this church in Wikimanche [https://www.wikimanche.fr/Église_Saint-Martin_(Champcervon)] [accessed 16 September 2023] mentions a baptismal font of the 17th century in it.
