Noted in Turner ([ca. 1818?]): "font covered with curious, though not [...] ancient, sculpture." Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply as a baptismal font of the 16th century. The font consists of a hexagonal basin decorated with three bands of motifs separatd by prominent mouldings; the top band has foliate scrolls. the middle one has pairs of dolphins at fountains, and other motifs; the lower band has pairs of putti in different scenes and poses; there is a pattern of lacework below the lower moulding of the basin; the pedestal base and the plinth are octagonal and modern replacements of the original base. The metal font cover is a low octagonal dome with a Greek-cross finial.
