Font Notes:
The entry for Corbie in the second volume of Expilly's Dictionnaire (1764) reports three "basiliques ou églises" in Corbie: the first dedicated to St. Peter & St. Paul, the second to St. John the Evangelist and the third to St. Stephen. Brutalis (1893-1899) reports the loss of the transepts, the reduction of the chancel with the loss of the additional chapels, and other parts of the church by the end of the 18th century, when if was turned into a barn, later an 'orphelinat'; there is mention of a font in the entry for this 11th-12th century church. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original church here].
