On-site notes: this stoup, one of two composite stoups now in use in this church, is located at the west end of the nave, on the south side; it is a composite of various un-related parts; the square basin is plain and modern; the upper half of the base is the re-cycled capital, very worn; the lower half of the base is a medieval shaft and base; the lower base or plinth is square, one of the sides decorated with a pair of encircled six-leaf motifs. [cf. also Index entry Aire-sur-Adour No. 1, for the baptismal font]
