Present baptismal font of the 18th century (?) illustrated in Mémoire [image ref.: DSF 2976 P]. Described and illustrated in Richesses en Somme [www.richesses-en-somme.com/patrimoine-des-églises/fonts-baptismaux/fonts-bapt-du-14e-au-18e/] [accessed 14 May 2016]: "Les fonts baptismaux sont revêtus d'une enveloppe cylindrique en chêne sculpté de style Louis XVI. Des quatre panneaux, deux représentent la sortie d'un baptême, scène populaire connue sous le nom de "Parrain sec" en Picardie, et les deux autres, des trophées (mitre, crosse, main de justice...). Le couvercle est un dôme à jours, surmonté d'une statuette de Jean Baptiste, enfant, avec son agneau." [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here]
