A font of this church is illustrated in a drawing by Lucien de Maleville (1881-1964) in Les dessins de Lucien de Maleville et le patrimoine monumental de la Gironde, DRAC Aquitaine [http://aquitaine.culture.gouv.fr/dossiers-thematiques/] [accessed 24 November 2013]; the font appears to be a late one, and consists of a round or oval basin decorated with a ribbed pattern covering the sides and underbowl, raised on a moulded baluster pedestal base, a splaying lower base and a small quadrangular plinth. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
