Church Notes: original church here documented 869 as belonging to the Abbaye Ste Marie d'Arles; present church 12thC; reported as abandoned and in poor state in Brutails' Notes sur l'art religieux du Roussillon (Paris: Leroux, 1896: 22, 178) -- listed in Mérimée [réf.: PA00104109]
Baptismal font consisting of a basin with an inner well of roughly hemispherical shape; it ihas been built into the north wall, tawrds the west end of the church, just east of the confessional; the niche is enclosed in a pair of doors that close the space; there is a centre drain in the well. The entry for this church in vellee-rotja.fr [http://vallee-rotja.fr/sahorre/eglises9.htm] [accessed 27 July 2020] notes: "Dans l'église de Saint Etienne les fonds baptismaux sont "protégés" par deux battants qui en ferment l'accès, architecture assez rare dans les églises de notre région. Les deux battants ouverts donnent accès à la cuve baptismale. [...] La cuve baptismale est en granit." Despite above claim baptismal fonts are often enclosed in wooden cabinets or enclosures in France, from the grand complex baldaquins found in Brittany to the more modest enclosures in the eastern Pyrenean region where this church is located. The same can be said of fonts that are built into interior walls making them look like lavabos or piscinae.
