An illustration in Richesses en Somme [https://www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-églises/fonts-baptismaux/fonts-moulurés] [accessed 3 January 2022] shows an octagonal apparently monolithic object decorated with tracery and mouldings all down the sides; the basin looks suspiciously small, as if broken or partly cut off. A 17th-century holy-water of grey marble is also mentioned for this church in the Mérimée [ref.: PA00116187] listing.
