Baptismal font of an awkward shape and crude execution, against one of the wooden pnelled walls of the church interior; it appears monolithic but of three well defined volumes: a quadrangular basin plain except for the chamfered corners on the outer facing sides; this part is painted in a thick red wash; a base that has shafts and other shapes, much in the form of the early fonts in this area; a plain quadrangular lower base. It gives the impression of an early font that was left half finished. It is dated 1691 in www.vaux-en-amienois.net/le_village/eglise.htm [accessed 14 May 2016]. Round cover attached to the side of the basin.
