The entry for this church in poudouvre [http://poudouvre.over-blog.com/article-histoire-de-merillac-page-n-12-113677718.html] [accessed 21 June 2022] notes: "A l'intérieur on peut encore observer les fonts baptismaux datant du XVème siècle et qui ornaient le précédent édifice, ils se présentent sous la forme de deux bassins octogones sur pédicules moulurés, à pans coupés." [NB: the descriptions and the available photograph [cf. ImagesArea] do not agree; the photograph shows a single mortar-shaped basin, while the narrative in the same source describes a double font with two octagonal basins -- are there two objects in this church?]
