The entry for this church in th Communne de Lys-Haut-Layon [https://lyshautlayon.fr/se-divertir/tourisme/patrimoine/saint-hilaire-du-bois/] [accessed 28 January 2022] notes: "A l’extrémité nord‐est de la nef se situe une cuve romane du XIIème siècle. A l’extérieur comme à l’intérieur, elle affecte une forme de coquille Saint‐Jacques. Elle est ornée de quatre visages sculptés, répartis autour de celle‐ci. On ignore pour quelle utilisation cette cuve a été réalisée. L’emplacement dans l’angle nord‐est de la nef indique qu’elle a servi de fonts baptismaux. Mais la présence de fonts baptismaux dans une église construite pour l’usage exclusif de moines laisse perplexe. Une autre hypothèse est envisageable : puisqu’il s’agit d’un prieuré dépendant de l’abbaye Saint‐Florent de Saumur, il devait y avoir un cloître, et cette cuve en face du réfectoire aurait pu servir de lavabo." The baptismal font in use consists of a roughly bucked-shaped basin with convex ribbing all around the outside, while the inside is covered in concave ribs; set at 90-degree angles on the outer sides are four heads, three of them human and one animal or grotesque; on a plain cylindrical pedestal base. The flat and round font cover is modern.
