Click to view
Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes du Val-d'Oise (1999) as an oval/cruciform mounted font of the Romanesque period [which it most certainly is not]; the general shape is oval but it has very bulging sides at the upper, central part, which gives it a rounded cruciform shape at the top, with pointed ends; on the base, generally of the same shape, the bulging is less pronounced. This font is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM95000083] with a more realistic dating in the 15th century: "De grosses réparations au plâtre sur le devant et l'arrière, sans doute pour masquer l'arrachement des anciennes fixations du couvercle. Pierre effritée en plusieurs endroits, présence de salpêtre due aux remontées d'humidité [...] 15e siècle [...] oeuvre restaurée". Le Patrimoine... [cf. supra] mentions a second. earlier, font from this church, now at the museum Tavet-Delacour in Pontoise [cf. Index entry for Boissy-l'Allerie No. 2].
