Stone font of the 16th century listed in Palissy [ref.: PM80001167]. Described and illustrated in Richesses en Somme [www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-églises/fonts-baptismaux/fonts-bapt-du-14e-au-18e/] [accessed 9 May 2016]: " Les fonts baptismaux en pierre se composent d'un pied octogonal, orné d'arcatures ogivales sur toutes ses faces, qui soutient une coupe ornée d'armoiries aux armes des familles de St Blimont, de la Chaussée d'Eu et d'une troisième maison non identifiée. Des têtes sculptées se devinent dans des médaillons et un cordon de feuillage garnit le bord de la cuve. Il est vraisemblable que ces fonts furent donnés par Nicolas de St Blimont qui vivait en 1520 et avait épousé Isabeau de la Chaussée d'Eu. (1) Le nom du village s'écrit avec un "t", tandis que le saint porte un "d"." Baptismal font consisting of an octagonal basin decorated with shield motifs and foliage on the side, the under bowl with larger shield charged with coats of arms [cf. supra] and human heads inscribed in medallions; on an octagonal pedestal base decorated with pairs of windows or arches on each side, and moulded lower base of octagonal-to-square shape. Wooden font cover, octagonal flat and plain; appears modern.
