Ecclesiastic Region: Diocèse de Tulle [ancien diocèse de Limoges]`
Historical Region: Limousin
Font Location in Church: [cf. FontNotes]
Century and Period: 17th century(late?),
Church Notes: original church dedicated to the Holy Cross may have existed here since the 10thC [source: Eglises de Corrèze [http://eglises.de.correze.online.fr/] [accessed 5 March 2017]]; present 12thC church liested and illustrated in Mérimée [ref.: PA00099836]: " Eglise à nef unique avec transept, abside et absidiole. La partie la plus ancienne, l'abside polygonale voûtée cul-de-four, remonte au 12e siècle." Much modified at later dates (16thC, etc.)
Palissy [ref.: IM19000619] lists and illustrates a stone object as a baptismal font of pink granite from the late 17th century: "fonts baptismaux [...] granite (rose) [...] ornementation (godron) [...] 2e moitié 17e siècle"; the object consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with broad irregular ribs all around, a drain hole on the side of the underbowl, which ends in a thick roll moulding, raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. Another font [or stoup?] of stone, apparently granite, in this church consists of a round tapering basin on a short circular base, both totally plain; there seems to be some evidence of damage to the upper rim perhaps indicative of cover hardware, but there is no cover present now [source: illustration in www.mesvoyagesenfrance.com/D19/rosiers.html [accessed 9 February 2017] -- download disabled]]. This type of font/stoup is difficult to date but may very well be medieval.
