All that has survived of the baptismal font at Dernancourt is a 1850 ink drawing on paper by either Aimé or Louis Duthoit (or both), formerly in the 'Collection privée, Duthoit', and since 1912 in the Musée de Picardie in Amiens [inv. no.: MP Duthoit XII-25]. The drawing is mounted on a larger sheet that includes a drawing of the old church of Dernancourt as well. [source: www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/joconde_fr [accessed 1 July 2012]. The church of St-Léger and its baptismal font were totally destroyed in the first World War (1914-18), when the old church was being partly used as hospital for the wounded. The present church was built after 1928. The old font had a square basin inside and out, raised on eight clustered colonnettes with moulded capitals and bases.
