'Compains: Histoire d'un village du Cézallier' [www.compains-cezallier.com/patrimoine-et-vie-religieuse/patrimoine-religieux/] [accessed 30 July 2017] notes: "Les fonts baptismaux font l’objet de critiques répétées lors des visites pastorales : ils ne sont pas couverts d’une « piramide » de bois et l’eau du baptême repose directement dans le bassin de pierre. Une cuve baptismale, sans doute la pierre sculptée de losanges (XIIe-XIIIe siècle) que nous voyons aujourd’hui dans le transept nord, est décrite en bon état lors de la visite pastorale de l’évêque en 1700. Il y manque cependant un couvercle (la pyramide) qui ne sera installé qu’au début du XVIIIe siècle. Un autre problème se pose à l’évêque François de Bonal en 1782 : « le bassin a besoin d’être étamé […] et les vases des saintes huiles [sont] hors d’état de conserver décemment ce qu’ils contiennent ». La croix et les fonts baptismaux se trouvaient à la fin des années quatre vingts à l’extérieur de l’église, près du portail méridional." Baptismal font of gray volvanic stone and dated in the 12th-13th century listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM63000413]. The monolithic tub-shaped font has a reticular pattern with thick piping on about two thirds of its surface; one side has a blind arcade of only two arches and, to the left of it, the whole side has been cut off vertically, perhaps to fit it aganst a flat surface. There is no cover present now but the upper rim of the basin shows multiple anchoring holes for earlier covers.
