Palissy [ref.: IM67007264] lists a former font re-used as well head: "La cuve baptismale qui sert actuellement de margelle au puits, est de style roman et peut être datée du 12e siècle ; elle provient peut-être de l'église primitive et n'a pas été réutilisée dans l'église reconstruite dans le 3e quart du 18e siècle [...] Cuve de plan circulaire [...] en grès rose, d'élévation légèrement galbée [...] ornementation (arcature) [...] 12e siècle (?)".
