A stone font of rectangular shape, said to be originally from this church, is reported inside a house in Palissy [ref.: PM14000759]: "fonts baptismaux [...] Cuve rectangulaire à un angle abattu ; orifice d'écoulement dans le fond, du côté de la largeur coupée [...] 3e quart 12e siècle [...] 1160 ENTRE ; 1170 ET [...] Lucien Musset date cette cuve des environs de 1160-1170 ; elle proviendrait de l'église Saint-Pierre de Touques dont la partie antérieure à été détruite au 17e siècle ; la propriété où se trouve la cuve était alors le manoir du greffier de l'amirauté de Touques ; elle servit d'abord à recevoir les eaux de pluie.
