On-site notes: the present baptismal font in this church is noted and illustrated in the Palissy database [réf. Palissy IM40000587] with suggested date in the second half of the 18th century; it consists of an oval basin of reddish narble (?) raised on a quadrangular pedestal base of beige marble decorated with mouldings. There is also an old holy-water stoup consisting of a polygonal stone basin semi-attached to the nave wall and supported on a plain cylindrical pedestal base; perhaps late medieval? 16th-century? [NB: the Merimee database [réf. IA40000810] notes the church dates from the late-12th or early-century; the cagots' portal from the late-14th or early-15th century; major renovation in 1980-1981; we have no information on the original medieval font]
