Le choeur est décoré de colonnes, couronnées par des chapiteaux richement sculptées, qui supportent une série d'arcatures sur lesquelles retombe la voûte de l'abside. Sur la croisée du transept s'élevait une tour carrée éclairée par des fenêtres à plein cintre dont il ne reste que des traces, suite aux restaurations exécutées au 14e siècle".

Noted in Corblet (1881-1882) simply as being a font from the Romanesque period. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM24000107]: "Cuve baptismale datant du 12e siècle". Monolithic baptismal tub font of general round shape, but the multiple panels [16] makes it appear polygonal [hexadecagonal]; each panel contains a blind round arch supported on columns with capitals; these columns form the protruding arrises that makes the basin polygonal; the inner well is round, and there is depression in the upper surface of the rim, inner side, as it to fit a round cover in it. No cover present.
