Monolithic limestone baptismal font consisting of a bucket-shaped basin with a round-to-square lower base; the inner well is also round and has an indentation all round to accommodate a round cover; an old metal staple at the upper rim. The present wooden cover is modern; round, flat and plain. Listed and illustrated in L'Inventaire, Région Champagne-Ardenne 2000-2006 [www.culture.gouv.fr/champagne-ardenne/objets-mobiliers/aube/IM10005282.html] [accessed 14 June 2016]. This same source mentions two late-date holy-water stoups in this church: one made of stone and consisting of a round gadrooned basin on a square base decorated with an angel on the stem and a cartouche on the lower base; the second is a much damaged bell-shaped cast-iron stoup on three little feet, probably of the 16th century, and moved to the church at Auxon (Champagne-Ardenne).
