Chateau-Landon No. 2 / Château-Landon

The Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) reports an ancient measure now being used as holy-water stoup. A stoup is listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00086870]: "Bénitier, ancienne mesure à grains [...] 12e siècle"; illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L062033]. [NB: a number of other stoups [cf. infra] are reported in this church; an attempt at identification is made below]. A second stoup is this church is listed in Palissy and illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L062002] A third stoup is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM77000329]: "Bénitier [...] 15e siècle [...] Ancienne mesure à liquides transformée en bénitier." A fourth stoup is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM77002680] as a composite object, a modern stoup raised on a 13th-century pedestal base: "Le bénitier est moderne mais repose sur un piétement formé d'une base de colonne, d'un morceau de colonne et d'un chapiteau qui semblent médiévaux. L'ensemble de la colonne proviendrait de l'ancien fief de Pithurin et de l'ancienne chapelle Saint-Loup de Bézard dont il subsiste quelques vestiges dans des bâtiments de ferme."
