Font Notes: Click to view

Palissy [ref.: IM68000755] describes a late-19th century font: "fonts baptismaux [grès] [...] décor d'architecture, colonne, feuillage [...] 4e quart 19e siècle [...] Fonts composés d'une partie centrale avec pied octogonal et cuve circulaire, et d'une partie périphérique d'encadrement reposant sur 8 colonnettes. Couvercle en bois." The corresponding entry for the illustration in Mémoire [ref.: IVR42_19736801387P] states: "Vue d'ensemble des fonts baptismaux datant de 1877 et par les ateliers Th. Klem." Rohmer (2016), however, captions a photograph of the font as "La cuve ancienne (XVe siècle) en grès de forme octogonale" and describes the font cover as "réalisé en 1877 par Théophile Klem". [NB: we have no information on the font of the original late-13th century church here].
