Listed by Enlart (1902) as an ancient mortar later used as holy-water stoup in this church ["Le bénitier de Bouillancourt-en-Séry est bien un mortier en pierre, comme le dii lauteur (t. t", p. 783), mais il n'est pas orné d'anges (t. e', p. 787)"] [NB: Enlart does not give the location of the stoup inBouillancourt -- assumed it is the church]. The object is round with an indentation around its middle and with several bulges that may havebeen heads originally; very eroded now.
