Click to view
Baptismal font of stone located at the west end of the nave, south side; at present our only source is a partial view in a general photograph of the church interior; it shows an upper corner of a stone basin that is decorated with a flat moulding and a ribbed pattern below. No font cover present. No listing found for it in Palissy at this time, although the church itself is listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00093447]. Even with such little information on the font. it looks like it could fit with the 15th-century modifications introduced to the 12th-century original church here.
