Described and illustrated in the Patrimoine des communes... l'Essonne (2002, v. 2: 699) as a composite holy-water stoup of the 15th century; the plain octagonal basin is believed to have been originally a grain measure [the volume corresponds to 8 'litrons', equivalent to 6.5 litres]; the basin is mounted on a plain cylindrical pedestal [Flohic ref.: 91230109]. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM91001563]: "Bénitier octogonal [...] Dans la nef de l'église, 1ère travée, côté droit [...] Pierre [...] H = 73,5 ; la = 38". [NB: nothing visible denotes the identification of the basin as a grain measure] [cf. Index entry for Boigneville No. 2 for the baptismal font in the same church]
