The inventory of 'objets mobiliers' carried out in 1977 (?) [Palissy [ref.: IM19001288]] includes three objects of our interest: two holy-water stoups and a baptismal font; their location in the accompanying interior plan of the church shows both stoups in the nothwest corner of the later [13th-century?] north aisle, while the font is shown in a niche or alcove of the north wall, just a few steps east of the stoups. This stoup is noted and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: IM19000818] as a holy-water stoup made of granite, date unknown ["Epoque indéterminée"]; the stoup consists of a plain roughly cylindrical basin with a rounded underbowl, raised on a octagonal-to-square pedestal base.
