Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de Calvados (2001, v. 1:252) as an oval mounted baptismal font from the second half of the 17th century; it appears monolithic, but it is painted and the dividing marks may be hidden; two thick mouldings delineate the basin top and bottom, both ornamented with busy foliage motif; the rest is plain. Flat plain wooden lid appears modern.
