Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Fournis et al. (2013) [: "La forme générale sobre et équilibrée des fonts baptismaux évoque le style de la Renaissance, mais la survivance du décor d'ogives sur le fût incite à ne pas dater l'ensemble au-delà de la première moitié du 16e siècle. [...] Le couvercle est sans doute plus tardif. [...] Les fonts baptismaux du 16e siècle sont peu nombreux, et celui-ci présente en outre l'intérêt d'avoir conservé son couvercle et sa garniture en étain." The font is shaped like an octagonal column, of which the minimal capital is the basin; the inner well of the basin has a tin insert with its own cover; the sides of the stem have alrge pointed arches or windows; the lower base is octagonal and moulded; stands on a square plinth. Bell-shaped oak cover of a later date.
