Church Notes: 12thC church listed in Mérimée [ref.: IA00030124]: "Ancienne église romane 12e siècle ?, détruite ; reconstruite au 16e siècle ? ; adjonction de chapelles latérales voûtées de brique en poterie à date inconnue : 18e siècle ? ; travaux de restauration vers 1875 : reprise des murs, des ouvertures et de la voûte de la chapelle sud"
A liste of the 'objets mobiliers' in this church prepared for the Inventaire général of 1982 [Réf. Palissy IM19001356] records a wooden "armoire des fonts baptismaux" located in the southwest corner of the nave, and a granite holy-water stoup on the north side of the west entranceway, very near the font covering structure; this stoup is detailed in Palissy [ref.: IM19000218] as being made of granite and date 18th-19th century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 12th-century church here]. The Palissy source noted refers to a "placard-clôture des fonts baptismaux", a term often used in the Inventaire to describe a wooden structure, usually of late date, that covers a font that has been embedded into a wall of the church; unfortunately we have been unable to located any reference to the font itself in the Inventaire thus far; is the font in the enclosure the one from the 12th-century church here? a later replacement?.
