Font Notes:
Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: DSF 3431 V / E144 / SAP01]. Reported in [www.donnees.picardie.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/IMG/File/patnat/sites/80-22.pdf] [accessed 23 April 2016] as a rectangular font of the 15th century. The font is rectangular on the outside, with the narrow side showing the bulge of the round basin through an arch; thick squat buttresses on the long sides; the whole appears to have been whitewashed in the Mémoire B&W photograph. Font cover of round flat platform with eight (?) ribs meeting at finial; appears modern; very similar to the cover on the font in Heucourt [cf. Index entry]. [NB: unable to corroborate whether this font is still at Croquoison in 2016]
