view of font

the damage to opposite sides of the upper rim nust have been caused by the metal staples or other hardware related to an old cover. Although the object lacks a drain, and may even have been originally intended as a holy-water stoup it must have been as a font at some point; it certainly has the size for it

Font Notes: Click to view

Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966-) simply as a round granite stoup ornamented with torus. Mingaud (1992: 14) describes it as a "gros bénitier circulaire en granit annelé à droite de l'entrée de la nef". On-site notes: not much more can be said about the object: it is rather large for a stoup but has no drain; the upper rim has a double roll moulding, the middle of the basin side is surrounded by a triple one; there are signs at the upper rim that there have been metal hinges at opposite ends, probably from a lid; the plain cylindrical base is covered in moss.
