Described and illustrated in Corblet (1881-1882) as an octagonal unmounted font in the Ogee style, ornamented with a trefoil arch or window on each basin side. Listed and illustrated in the Palissy database as a historical monument [ref. no.: PM33000549 -- NUMP: 68S02131] and with date in the 15th or 16th century ["limite 15e siècle 16e siècle"]. On-site notes: the octagonal font has been mounted on a modern plinth; there is damage to the upper rim of the basn; the font appears to have been re-carved and/or re-cut; the depth of the inner well, almost 40 cm, could suggest that this may have been originally a round tub font, though much of the church appears to be no later than the 16th century, perhaps the true age of the font. The wooden cover is plain, modern. There is also a holy-water stoup of suspicious pedigree, perhaps composite, with an old stem and a later basin.
