The Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel du Limousin, Palissy [ref.: IM87000217] reports four items of our interest: two baptismal fonts and two holy-water stoups; of the two fonts one is made of plaster, located by the south side of the west doorway; the other is a granite font fitted into a niche of the west wall, also to the south of the west doorway; it bears the dates 1610 and 1731; one of the stoups is made of granite and located on the north side of the nave; the other, also of granite and raised on a pedestal base, on the north arm of the transept, west side. A local source [www.cirkwi.com/fr/point-interet/377265-eglise-sainte-madeleine] [accessed 6 March 2017] reports a baptismal font "dans un niche" in this church, without further details. The font is a round, roughly cylindrical, with most of its volume built into the west wall with a niche above framed by a round arch; the inner well is also round; there appears to be no decoration on any part of it, nor is there a cover present in the 1986 image source.
