Eug. del Marmol (1877) notes on the church here: "L'église d'Anthée était rangée autrefois au nombre des églises 'entières', c'est-à-dire existant dès l'origine, sans avoir été détachées d'aucune autre. Elle est dédiée à Saint Materne considéré comme le premier missionnaire du Christianisme dans nos contrées, patron également de l'ancienne église de Walcourt, et spécialement honoré autrefois dans l'antique église de Notre Dame, à Namur." The modern font here is listed and illustrated in the BALaT database [http://balat.kikirpa.be/photo.php?path=M225057&objnr=10003135&nr=23] [accessed 18 June 2015] as dated between 1901 and 1933, made of limestone and measuring 155 cm [presumaby the height of the cover is included in the measurement], but the font cover itself is described as "plus anc[ienne] prob[ablement] XVII ou XVIII?" [NB: we have no information on the font from the original church here].
