Font here listed in Corblet (1881-1992) simply as being from the Romanesque period. The entry for this church in Parvis Poitiers Catholique [https://parvis.poitierscatholique.fr/st-Theophane/Saint-Generoux.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2025] mentions a double-basin font near the entranceway: "A gauche de l'entrée se trouve une cuve en pierre à deux bassins, sans doute des fonts baptismaux". The entry for this church in Premier millénaire [http://millenaire1.free.fr/408_2_52_saintgeneroux_deuxsevres.html] [accessed 6 April 2025], however, mentions and illustrates an ancient damaged and eroded basin in it [***NB: the object in this photograph is the same as the one shown in nearby Airvault; not similar but the same -- error?]
