Click to view
Guérard (1860) mentions the font several times as a reference point within the church but gives no details of it. Brutails (1893-1899) has: "Pagés nous apprend aussi que des fonts baptismaux de marbre noir avaient été donnés à l'église en 1654 et 1656 par Claude Decourt [...] et par damoiselle Madeleine Oger son épouse". [NB: we have no information on the font of the original mid-to-late 15th century church here -- is the mid-17thC font still here?]
