Baptismal font consisting of three blocks; an octagonal basin with sides decorated with a single roll moulding all around; the upper vase is also octagonal, with a pronounced ring moulding; the lower base is octagonal-to-square, with four large faces on the splaying transition. The font has some damage to the upper rim and sides; it is believed to be from the original church here; it was relegated to a local farm until restored to the interior of the new church. Noted and illustrated in poudouvre [http://poudouvre.over-blog.com/2015/12/inventaire-de-quelques-fonts-baptismaux.html] [accessed 19 June 2022]
