Noted and illustrated in Joseph Daoust (1969) [https://www.persee.fr/doc/etnor_0014-2158_1969_num_70_217_3017] [accessed 19 August 2025]: "Dans la nef Nord, les fonts baptismaux, exécutés à Dieppe en 1611" -- [http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dandox/departements/76/B000016.jpg] web site offers a post-card showing a 13th-century hexagonal font decorated with cherub heads and a two-step plinth with a pyramidal wooden cover with ball finial, but the font seems to be the same one dated in Doust to the 17th century [cf. supra].
