Baptismal font consisting of an oblong-shaped basin with rounded corners inside and out, decorated at the angles with protruding knobs -that are usually carved into heads on many such fonts- and with a moulding around the lower end of the underbowl; raised on a short base of the same shape. The upper rim has metal font staples at opposite ends of the long sides, but there is no cover present in our source [Richesses en Somme [www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-églises/fonts-baptismaux/] [accessed 2 July 2012]. The present church dates from the 15th century, but replaced an earlier church said to have been still around ca. 1480; the font must have been retained from the former church.
