Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62000534] as a sandstone font of the 12th century. Listed in Oursel (1994) in a group of fonts sharing a general design and made from a local limestone of ochre colour known as 'pierre de Marquise'; other fonts listed in that group are Dannes, Condette, Audrehem, Henneveux, Hervelinghem, Saint-Martin-Choquel. Drake (2002) does not list this font with the Marquise group, probably on account of the quatrefoil shape of its basin; the base is a cluster of colums.
