Font Notes:
The font as well as the lining of the font basin are described and illustrated in Fournis et al. (2013) as a former tank for holy water, later set inside the stone font as a liner: "Ancienne réserve à eau baptismale, actuellement garniture des fonts baptismaux. [...] Désormais utilisée comme garniture des fonts baptismaux, la réserve à eau baptismale présente une forme très simple uniquement liée à son usage, datant vraisemblablement de l'Ancien Régime. [...] La réserve à eau baptismale, en plomb, présente la forme traditionnelle d'une petite marmite circulaire à deux anses. Elle est complétée d'un couvercle plat également muni d'une anse. [...] Modèle assez simple d'un objet assez répandu dont peu d'exemples subsistent." The font here consists of a basin in the shape of an upturned bell, raised on a baluster-shaped pedestal base with a moulded lower base; there is some paint on parts of the font. The cover has a wooden Latin cross finial.
