Font Notes:
Ancient baptismal font inside the re-built church [source: www.chokier.com]. The same source informs that the original parish church, in the Concile de Hozémont, was dedicated to St. Mary only but, upon its re-building in 1779 the new church acquired the double dedication. The entry for this church in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10106325] [accessed 19 August 2025] reports only a baptismal font of 1885 in it.
