The web site Musée Virtuel Nieul et Alentours en Limousin [www.nieuletalentoursenlimousin.fr/le-musee/nos-demeures-et-autres-edifices/les-eglises-et-autres-edifices/l-eglise-de-nantiat.html] [accessed 15 January 2017] notes: "la première église fut édifiée par les Carmes aux XIème-XIIème siècles […] Au début du XIXème siècle, l’ancienne église de Nantiat, trop petite et en mauvais état, fut remplacée par un autre édifice. La construction dura de 1829 à 1833. La cuve baptismale située sur la route de Saint-Pardoux garde le souvenir de l’emplacement de l’ancienne église." [NB: the web site gives the following source: Eglise de la Haute-Vienne, par MINGAUD Alain, 2004, cote in 4L216, ADHV, page 156.] The old font (?) is noted and illustrated in Petit-Patrimoine [www.petit-patrimoine.com/fiche-petit-patrimoine.php?id_pp=87103_1] [accessed 15 January 2017]: "Nantiat était un prieuré-cure ou cure régulière dans l'ancien archiprêtré de Saint-Junien. Dans le village, on trouve cette énorme vasque de granit, ancienne cuve baptismale du Moyen-Age, à l'emplacement de l'ancienne église. Elle fait penser à une pierre d'évier, mais de deux mètres cinquante de long. Numéro du petit patrimoine : 87103_1". The Canal Monde site entry for Nantiat [www.canalmonde.fr/r-annuaire-tourisme/france/communes-touristiques/info-communes.php?z=87140&c=Nantiat] [accessed 15 January 2017] describes this object as "la vasque baptistère paléochrétienne témoigne d’une christianisation précoce".
