Illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Indre-et-Loire (2001, v. 1: 542) as an octagonal basin of a large holy-water stoup or a baptismal font now located in the nave, just opposite the old tub-shaped baptismal font; it is not mentioned in the text of this source; the basin is octagonal with hanging trefoiled arch-heads and is ornamented with a band of foliage motifs on the upper side; raised on a round pedestal plain but for some mouldings at the lower end. Octagonal wooden font cover with cross finial; modern. It has the general appearence of the 15th century font or stoup commonly found in France, but it could be a much later work, even 18th-century.
