The entry for this church in the Inventaire général du Patrimoine culturel de l'Auvergne [Référence Palissy IM63000429] mentions a baptismal font and a holy-water stoup in it. The entry [Référence Palissy IM63000430], however, notes that there is documentation ["une fiche de classement"] that attests for the existence at the time [1908?] of a baptismal font, a basin on a pedestal base, disused at the time and located in the exterior of the church; the original entry mentioned chevron decoration on the basin. The 1988 inventory entry [Palissy IM63000430] noted that the basin could not be found anywhere, inside or outside the church, and that the former base of the font was being then used, turned upside down, as base for the holy-water stoup [Palissy IM63000431] to replace the original stoup base that had been broken: "granite (structure, monolithe) [...] plan (octogonal) [...] Intérieur de la cuve également octogonal [...] Le pied d'origine a été cassé, actuellement la cuve est posée sur un support en remploi, à l'origine pied de fonts baptismaux (63000430) [...] 15e siècle, 16e siècle (?)".
