Baptismal font illustrated in Richesses en Somme [https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/none/path/s2f14c95e111a2967/image/i4ae446c66d5838c2/version/1382630713/image.jpg] [accessed 23 April 2016]. The stone font appears to consist of three blocks: a quadrangular basin with plain vertical sides rounded at the corners, raised of a round pedestal base made up of two cylindrical blocks; the whole devoid of ornamentation and whitewashed. Font cover of round flat platform with eight (?) ribs meeting at finial; appears modern; very similar to the one at the adjacent hamlet of Croquison [cf. Index entry for Croquoison]
