Noted and illustrated in Caumont (1846- ) as a baptismal font of the 12th century. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM14000552]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] 13e siècle". Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de Calvados (2001, v. 1: 738) as a cylindrical mounted baptismal font probably of the 12th century; it consists of two volumes -and, apparently, of two blocks- both cylindrical; the upper one, the basin, has a low-relief blind arcade all around; the lower volume, the base, is wider, just a few inches, and has similar ornamentation but the frames are straight instead of the curved arches of the top. This shape of early font, with large blocks and a wider base, is more common among early Norman fonts in England. There is a plain flat wooden cover on the basin.
