Font Notes:
Click to view
There is neither font nor holy-water stoup listed for this church among the "mobilier classé" for this church. The present font [cf. ImagesArea] is modern. There is an object of interest but of doubtful identification, that may or may not have been used as font or stoup in the past, whatever its original function was; it has a flat back with a hemispherical font, practically vertical sides and it is totally plain. [NB: we have no information on the font of the original abbey church here]
