Described in the Dictionnaire des églises.. (1966- ) as a late-medieval square stoup located by the entrance and ornamented with a heads at 90-degree angles of the basin. On-site notes: the reddish marble stoup is wall-mounted but has a crude base under it; it is crudely made and very worn but two heads carved on the outer corners, one on each side, can still be discerned on it; the stoup is partly built into the wall behind [cf. two other Index entries for this church, nos. 1 and 3]
