The web site of the Conseil Général-Pyrénées-Orientales mentions a holy-water stoup made of pink marble and dated differently -Romanesque to 18th century- depending on the source ["un bénitier en marbre rose (1735 selon Cazes, romane pour le guide bleu !"] [source: http://www.cg66.fr/expositions/Clochers/CLO-Serralon.htm ]. An oil-font by the entrance to the cemetery is described in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. XXV: 190) [cf. Index entry for Serralongue No. 2. Elsewhere in this same source (ibid.: 59) a plain baptismal font is reported inside the church [cf. Index entry for Serralongue No. 1].
