The present font in the new church of Sainte-Lucie dates probably from the mid-19th century building of the new church; it consists of an octagonal basin decorated with a protruding flat moulding at the upper rim, castellated in its lower side; the sides of the basin have trefoils carved in low relief; chamfered underbowl; octagonal pedestal base with niches or windows in it; splaying lower base, also octagonal. Copper cover, octagonal pyramidal in shape, trefoiled cross finial; appears moder too. This modern font is located at the east end of the north aisle. Noted in Visites Aquitaine [http://visites.aquitaine.fr/fonts-baptismaux-de-l-eglise-de-tardets] [accessed 4 December 2013]: "fonts baptismaux entièrement sculptés dans la pierre et le marbre. Ils sont constitués d’un pilier en pierre et d’un bassin. Comme c’est le cas de nombreux autres fonts, leur cuve est dotée de huit côtés [...] fermés par un couvercle en fonte surmonté d’une croix". [NB: we have no information on the font of the original church here].
