Baptismal font of octagonal (?) shape with three (?) of the sides apparently built into the wall; it appears monolithic, but we do not know what part of the present shape is the actual font [the rest could be mortar]. This is probably not the font of the original priory church here. Listed in Palissy [ref.: IM16000373]: "fonts baptismaux [...] calcaire (monolithe) : taillé, mouluré [...] plan (octogonal)". Two holy-water stoups in this church are also listed in Palissy [refs.: IM16000371, IM16000372]
