Malézieux (1873), in an article about the fonts at Berthenicourt and Saint-Germain (nr. Guise) in Aisne, includes a number of fonts of similar date and design at "Vermand, La-Neuvelle-la-Corbie, Vendeuil, Saint-Simon, Marle, Montdidier, Ver", and fragments in the churches of "Etreillers, Ribemont, Fonsomme, Gauchy, Marteville". Corblet (1881-1882) lists it with the "fonts antiques" of the Aisne without any annotation.
