L'édifice a été restauré en 1875-1876."

Michel Claveyrolas writes: "Dans la chapelle gothique sud, par laquelle on accède à la nef, se trouvent des fonts baptismaux. Il s'agit d'une simple cuve, à peine décorée de stries verticales. Nous n'avons pas trouvé de documents concernant ces fonts et nous les signalons à tout hasard en raison de leur aspect archaïque." The beaker-shaped font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with flat ribbing all around; raised on a squat round moulded base; the font is probably late medieval. No cover present.
