The Mérimée [Réf. IA40000803] and & Palissy [Réf. Palissy IM40000501] entries for this church and its furnishings do not include a baptismal font.
On-site visit: the modern font in this church consists of an octagonal basin of plain sides, an upper octagonal volume under it, also plain, an octagonal pedestal base with fluted sides, and a splaying moulded lower base decorated with a rosette on each of its eight sides. The brass cover is a low dome with a knob finial/handle. Both font and cover are modern. There are two modern holy-water stoups in this church. [NB: the church is originally mid-13th century; it was renovated in the mid-19th century, and, again, in 1980 and 1995; we have no information on the medieval baptismal font].
