Described and illustrated in the Mairie de Bourseville,Tourisme et Culture site [www.mairie-bourseville.fr/archives/1726] [accessed 26 April 2016] [texte et dessins de Jacques Dulphy, photos Christian Roques]: "A la place du maître-autel, on a installé les fonds [sic] baptismaux,d’époque Renaissance de pierre jaune peinte en blanc,classés le 25 mai 1907, comprenant une lèse, un fût où, sur les huit pans, sont sculptées des figures en relief représentant la famille seigneuriale de l’époque, puis un bassin octogone, sur les bords duquel on peut lire, en vieux latin, l’inscription suivante : « Sordes abluo gratiam procuro demones pello cœlum promito », qui se traduit par « que cette eau te lave de tes fautes, qu’elle te procure la grâce, qu’elle chasse les démons et te donne le ciel promis ». Noted and illustrated in Richesses en Somme [www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-églises/fonts-baptismaux/fonts-bapt-du-14e-au-18e/] [accessed 26 April 2016]: "Dans le Vimeu, ces fonts baptismaux Renaissance présentent des panneaux qui sont ornés de médaillons traités à l'antique. Sur la partie supérieure de la cuve court une inscription en latin, qui rappelle les effets du baptême (Je procure la grâce, Je chasse les démons, Je lave les souillures, Je promets le ciel). Sous les panneaux, une frise fleurie apparaît sur la base octogonale." The font consists of a shallow octagonal basin with a protruding rim moulding that has a Latin inscription on it [cf. supra], the underside decorated with an incised foliage pattern; short sides below decorated with very narrow cartouche-like motifs; the octagonal stem has eight deeply-carved human busts on the sides, both male and female, both dressed and undressed; a splaying lower base, also octagonal, has a large square flower at each angle. The font is whitewashed and raised on a two-step plinth. An early drawing [cf. Images area] shows the font with a [wooden?] cover on it, an octagonal platform with four scroll ribs arranged at 90-degree angles and a Latin cross finial.
