[NB: we have no information on the font of the 15th-century church here]. No listing for that font found in Palissy, which lists and illustrates two 17th-century stone holy-water stoups in this church: one on a pedestal base [ref.: IM19000643] and another wall-mounted [ref.: IM19000642], both plain and unremarkable. Eglises de Corrèze [http://eglises.de.correze.online.fr/] [accessed 5 February 2017] mentions "un bénitier flamand en cuivre rouge" in this church but gives no date or other details of it.
