Click to view
Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966-) simply as a 12th century granite stoup. There appear to be two objects of our interest inside this church: a stoup by the south entrance, and a font at the far [west] end, to the north of the west doorway; the stoup, consisting of a ribbed basin on a baluster-shaped pedestal base, does not match the Dictionnaire... description above; the font, with a basin decorated with a crenellated band populated with human faces or masks, and simple scrolls, does not appear to match the description either.
