The entry for this church in CEP / Wiki-Mâcon-Sud-Bourgogne [https://wiki-macon-sud-bourgogne.fr/index.php?title=Fichier:MassyEgliseInt_(6).jpg] [accessed 22 September 2022] reports and illustrates a composite stoup, the base of which may be an upside-down Romanesque capital, the rest likely 18th-century: "Bénitier en pierre posé sur un pied cylindrique dont la base est un chapiteau sculpté retourné. La base pourrait remonter à l’époque romane, mais la cuve, en tronc de cône, semble être du XVIIIe siècle". The entry for this church in La Sauvegarde de l’Art français [https://www.sauvegardeartfrancais.fr/projets/massy-eglise-saint-denis/] [accessed 22 September 2022] reports the presence of a holy-water stoup possibly dated to the estimated date of the construction of the church: "L’église contient un bénitier en pierre posé sur un fût cylindrique dont la base est sculptée, qui pourrait dater de l’époque de la construction".
