A font here is listed in Enlart (1902) as one of several unmounted oval ("franchement ovales") fonts of the 11-12th century. A font in this church is listed in Palissy [ref.: PM66000141]: "fonts baptismaux [...] granite [...] Une croix ancrée est sculptée sur la face de la cuve [...] Sans datation". [NB: there appear to be two fonts in this church; the one noted in Enlart [cf. supra] is inside the south open porch located to the right [east] of the south portal, a porch used as a Crucifixion chapel; this font consists of a tub-shaped basin that is plain except for groove below the upper rim; it is raised on a short round base that does not match the basin -- the other font, the one listed in Palissy/Mémoire, is located inside the church; it is tub-like, with a round tapering basin raised on a round pedestal base; the basin is painted and has an anchored cross on the side; this font is much later than the other one].
