Font Notes:
Click to view
On-site notes: baptismal font consisting of a rectangular basin with chamfered ends raised on two quadrangular columns with chamfered angles; the basin has a Latin inscription all around the upper sides; one side of the basin is badly cracked. The metal font cover is a low rectangular pyramid with double knob finial. A second font, of later date, has its inner basin well filled with sand and is now used as candle-holder. Some sources have this font as a converted sarcophagus, which is unlikely given the size and the internal divisions. [NB: documentary charters report that the abbey exists since the late10th-century; the list of abbots starts in 1060; we have no information on its earlier font].
