Penaud-Requier & Penaud (2010) note that this church, a former priory of the abbey of Tulle in the 13th century, has three holy-water stoups: one of them consists of a round basin decorated with trefoils on the sides and mouldings at the upper rim, raised on a quadrangular pedestal base decorated with symbols (star, cross, heart, etc.); one other is wall-mounted and decorated with a cross; the third one is simpler. They appear to be late in date.
