Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM10001107]: "bénitier [...] calcaire [...] 12e siècle [...] mauvaises conditions de conservation ; altération biologique de la matière [...] Ce bénitier est posé sur un socle de la fin du 20e siècle dû à l'abbé Couche". The stoubd basin is roughly rcylindrical with large protrusions at 90-degree angles that render it almost square; round inner well; as noted in Palissy [cf. supra] it is badly affected by green moss (?) all around, and was set on a pedestal in the 20th century.
