In the Mérimée entry for this 15th-century church [ref.: PA00082434] a 12th-century font is mentioned as indicative of an earlier church here: "L'église a dû remplacer un édifice plus ancien, que rappellerait une cuve baptismale du 12e siècle." The entry for this church in Petit Patrimoine [ref.: 24082_2] [http://www.petit-patrimoine.com/fiche-petit-patrimoine.php?id_pp=24082_2] [accessed 8 December 2013] reads: "église Sainte Marie d'Aillac. Erigée au XIV ème siècle, elle est démolie puis reconstruite à la fin du XV ème siècle. Elle est en forme de croix régulière avec deux chapelles. Le clocher mur, percé de deux étages, se détache magnifiquement. Le croissant planté sur sa tige en haut de l'édifice pourrait rappeler soit le passage des Maures au VII ème siècle, soit celui des Croisés au XII ème." The Petit Patrimoine entry makes no mention of a font in it.
