[NB: we have no information on the medieval font of this church]. The entry for Boisney in Arthur Kingsley Porter's Medieval Architecture, vol. 1 (New York: Baker and Taylor, 1909) p. 306, reads: "BOISNEY, Eure. Eglise, which assigned to c. 1150 by Ruprich-Robert,' consists of three aisles, a square choir, and a central tower which is adjoined to the north and south by two little chapels too small to deserve the name of transept. Beneath the central tower is a rib vault with pointed arches; the rest of the church is roofed in wood. The exterior is notable chiefly for the fa9ade of the XVI century, for the decoration in arched corbel-tables, and for certain pointed windows. (RuprichRobert; De la Balle.)" [it mentions no font in it]. [NB: we found a single uncorroborated reference to an ancient baptistery here [source: http://members.aol.com/canteure/brionne.html]]
