Click to view
On-site notes: a holy-water stoup located near the entrance; the basin is round, vase-like with wide ribbed pattern on the outside; it is raised on a plain triangular pedestal; there are a number of inscriptions or incisions on the basin -one could even be construed as a date - 1744?, but they do not appear to make any sense [cf. Images section for details]; the base has a face and a cross on one side, a face and a fleur-de-lis on another face, and a face and an X on the third, all separated by curly scrolls at the angles.
