The entry for this church in the Société Historique de Lisieux [http://www.societehistoriquedelisieux.fr/?p=5984] [accessed 21 April 2022] notes: "Les fonts baptismaux, en pierre, probablement du XVIe siècle, sont mutilés." Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de Calvados (2001, v. 2: 1225) as an unmounted octagonal baptismal font; the upper end of the basin is profusely ornamented with foliage motif all around; below it, a narrow band of trefoil arches; the rest is plain all the way down, where it is slightly narrower, though still octagonal in shape. The cover is a low metal dome with an orb-and-cross finial. The font appears heavily repaired in some areas.
