Church Notes: church inventoried in Mérimée [ref: PA00082469]: "12e siècle [...] Avant la Révolution, l'ancienne paroisse dépendait du diocèse de Limoges. Construite dans la seconde moitié du 12e siècle, c'est le type d'église rurale fréquemment reproduit en Limousin et dans la partie du Périgord qui lui est contigu. Au lieu de recevoir au 15e ou 16e siècle une seconde nef et des restaurations ou remaniements comme la plupart des ses voisines, celle de Reilhac est restée intacte".

On-site notes: the basin has a eight-lobed basin, both inside and outside, but one of the sides, at the back is straight and probably meant to accommodate the original lid hinges. The base has two cylindrical volumes separated by a ring moulding; the upper is ornamented with round motifs while the lower has round arches. Other than the damage in the hinge area, the font is a good state of repair and is now raised on a modern (?) plinth.
