Century and Period: 11th - 12th century, Romanesque
Church Notes: ca. 1050 church; re-built 15thC; modified 17th and 19thC -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00087551]: "15e siècle ; 16e siècle ; 17e siècle ; 19e siècle"
Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply as one of two (?) stoups carved out of the old capitals from the chapelle Saint-Laurent. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM78001716]: "Les cuves des bénitiers reposent sur des chapiteaux provenant de la chapelle Saint-Laurent (chapelle du château), d'après la documentation d'Adolphe de Dion [...] Le premier bénitier présente un décor de volutes. Le second, des volutes et des feuilles d'acanthe (?) [...] Milieu 11e siècle ; 1er quart 12e siècle". Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: APMH047759]. Le patrimoine des communes des Yvelines (2000) illustrates one of them, which it dates to the 11th or 12th century, on the basis that the capitals which hold up the basins come from the seigneurial chapel of Saint-Laurent, founded in 1060 by Amaury I, and destroyed during the Revolution. They are composite stoups, the polygonal basin, probably of a later date, sitting awkwardly on the old capitals. The capital base illustrated in the source mentioned has large acanthus leaf ornamentation; the basin is plain. [NB: the oval-shaped baptismal font of veined reddish marble [cf. ImagesArea] is probably 19th-century]
