The entry for this church in Cirkwi [https://www.cirkwi.com/fr/point-interet/415542-eglise-de-champniers] [accessed 18 September 2023] reports a round baptismal font in it ["L'intérieur de l'édifice conserve une cuve baptismale de plan circulaire"]. On-site notes: cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl is attached to the wall and resting on a short base; it appears to be totally plain and has significant damage on the left upper side; the base may be of a later date. No cover present. [NB: three holy-water stoups listed in BSI for this church] [NB: the Index entry for an interesting font in this municipality must refer to nearby Reilhac, access to which was not possible at the time of our visit]
