Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply as a 15th century stone baptismal font. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM60000465]: "Les fonts se composent d'un support et d'une cuve en deux éléments de pierre indépendants et assemblés, chacun d'eux étant monolithe. De grandes dimensions et de forme ovale à pointe, ils se composent d'un support chanfreiné et orné d'un tore aplati en amande. La cuve est marquée sur chaque face, en partie médiane, d'une saillie pointue qui se prolonge jusque sur le support. Son rebord est mouluré d'un tore fin et d'un second tore plus épais [...] Des cassures ont été reprises avec des enduits divers [...] Lors de leur classement en 1862, les fonts baptismaux avaient été datés du 15e siècle. La forme, de même que l'absence totale de décor semblent indiquer une date moins haute, vraisemblablement dans la seconde moitié du 16e siècle [...] oeuvre restaurée". Baptismal font of a general oval shape but with prow-like sharp points at 90-degree angles; otherwise moulded at the upper rim; the base is also oval, with a moulding around it about half-way down, splaying at the bottom. Flat wooden cover made to match the shape of the basin top; appears to be hinged in the middle.
