The entry for this church in the French Wikipedia [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collégiale_Notre-Dame_de_Vernon] [accessed 26 April 2025]
mentions a 15th-century baptismal font in the baptismal chapel: "Cuve baptismale du XVe siècle". A photograph in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L054671] is captioned "Eglise Notre-Dame : Fonts baptismaux" even though the other photographs of the same object are captioned "Bénitier". The wall-mounted holy-water stoup is illustrated, with a caption which dates it to the 15th century, in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ); the holy-water stoup has a large angel showing its wings and holding a large grotesque round head with an open mouth. This stoup is illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH051383, APMH051384, AP80L054671]: the angel and the grotesque head are actually back of the backdrop above the wall-mounted stoup.
