Collard (1965) reports a tiny stoup now wall-mounted by the main entrance, though originally a mortar from the nearby abbey or hospital. The Palissy database [ref.: PM89003123] lists a bronze holy-water stoup which may, or, more likely, may not be the same as the one reported in Collard [cf. supra]: "Bénitier, bronze, XVIe siècle". The Palissy entry (ibid.) gives no measurements or location. [cf. Index entry for Chablis No. 2 for a painted baptismal font in this church].
