Noted and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de l'Allier (1999). Holy-water stoup similar to the baptismal font listed for the same church [cf. Index entry for Franchesse No. 1], the square basin has large corner "contreforts". One of the sides of the basin has a large shield which may have had a coat-of-arms on it in the past. The base is square. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM03000109]: "Le bénitier a une cuve avec à ses angles quatre contreforts et sur ses faces des blasons dont on ne peut plus voir les armoiries qui étaient sans doute peintes. Les fonts baptismaux sont formés d'une grande cuve ronde avec quatre colonnettes, à laquelle est jointe une piscine également arrondie, flanquée de deux colonnettes. [...] 15e siècle". There is a second stone stoup in this church, probably medieval as well; it is monolithic, slender, starting at the top with an octagonal rim tapering in and turnig square at the bottom.
