Volleges / Villezo / Vollèges

Stone baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin with a rounded underbowl decorated with broad ribbed pattern, raised on a round baluster-shaped pedestal base decorated with mouldings at both ends, and a square base decorated with scroll motifs on the sides. The wooden cover is of the rim-buffet type, the main volume octagonal with vertical carved panels and decorated arrises, a crown-like top made up of eight scroll ribs meeting at the finial, an orb-and-cross, the cross Latin and trefoiled. The font is located by the stairs leading to the west gallery. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original 12th-century church here -- the church of Levron, a hamlet of Vollèges, is modern (mid-20thC)].
