Baptismal font illustrated in Patrimoine limousin [www.limousin-medieval.com/baptisteres-] [accessed 16 January 2017]; the font is monolithic octagonal basin with plain sides; resting directly on the groun inside the church, two sides against the interior walls. It has no cover present but the upper rim sides show considerable damage probably caused by old font cover hardware. There is also a free-standing stone stoup consisting of a plain cylindrical basin on a plain circular pedestal base, and a moulded lower base, also round.
