Click to view
A lower base of a baptismal font of Tournai or Mosan design survives here, reinforcing the claims of those who think a Romanesque church existed prior to 1273; the font that would fit this surviving base would consist of a broad pedestal base with four outer colonnettes supporting either a square basin or a round basin with four heads at 90-degree angles.
