Listed, illustrated and described in Corbel (2000: p. 159) who dates the dais to the 19th century. Listed in Palissy [ref.: IM65000708] as a limestone font of the 16th century with a wooden structure of the 19th century. On-site notes: the roughly hemispherical font is rather crude, with a blind arcade ornamenting the basin sides; the peeling paint which covers it and the bad repairs showing on the basin upper rim do not make it any more appealing to the eye; the base is a cylindrical pedestal, equally crude and there is a back-hinged wooden lid to match. The "dais" mentioned in Corbel is a two-door armoire against which the font stands.
