Catalogued in Palissy [www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/dapapal_fr?] [accessed 3 August 2012] [ref.: PM80000977] as a stone baptismal font of the 13th century. Described and illustrated in Richesses en Somme [www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-%C3%A9glises/fonts-baptismaux/] [accessed 3 August 2012]: "Les Fonts baptismaux en pierre se rapprochent des modèles des XIIe et XIIIe s. cités par Camille Enlart. Ils se présentent sous la forme d’une cuve ovale dans un encadrement rectangulaire, flanquée à chaque angle d’une colonnette trapue, grossièrement sculptée." The design of this font includes a rounded basin in a quadrangular frame formed by four angle colonnettes, with some variants, like the other medieval fonts in the Somme at Bergicourt, Cerisy-Buleux, Faverolles, Fourcigny, Gentelles, Rouvrel, Wiry au Mont, etc. In this case the font has single columns at the angles, the capital decorated with large-leaf motif and a roll moulding at the base of the capital and at the base of the column; the font appears rectangular, rather than square, which gives the basin a slightly oval shape; it rests on a large plain quadrangular block. There appear to be two font covers: one is flat and plain; the other is pyramidal, perhaps metal, and appears to sit usually on top of the wooden one.
