On-site notes: baptismal font probably of the 14th or 15th century; the basin is hemispherical and plain but with arris division into eight side, therefore octagonal; it is raised on a conical pedestal base decorated with an upper roll moulding [the base appears to be made of two blocks]. [NB: we had no access to the inside of the church during our visit to Lindet on August 31, 2003; the font was photographed through a window]
