Click to view
Baptismal font consisting of a plain, roughly hemispeherical basin raised on a round pedestal base; crude irregular work. No cover present. [NB: in November 2019 BSI received photographs of two different fonts labelled "Casteil, France"; the photographs were received as having been taken by the same person on the same date; there are two churches in Casteil but we have not yet been able to identify which font belongs to which church, but an educated guess would put the font dated "1650" on the rim in the 17th-century church, and the plain tub in the old church].
