Church Notes: 12thC pilgrimage church may have been preceded by 11thC smaller church nearby -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00092231]: "L'église Notre-Dame aurait remplacé une ancienne église dédiée à saint Etienne. Edifice actuel construit dans la 1ère moitié du 12e siècle avant 1166, et fondé par les comtes d'Auvergne et l'évêque de Clermont. En 1166, l'église est prieuré de l'abbaye de la Chaise-Dieu depuis une date indéterminée. Création d'un chapitre en 1245 sous le vocable de Notre-Dame."
Noted and illustrated in https://photos-eglises.fr/Auvergne/63/Orcival/orcival.htm [accessed 23 July 2022] as a baptismal font of the 16th century. Looking more like a stoup or even a lavabo, it consists of a basin with a straight nack side and a curved front, rather shallow, on a polyigonal pedestal base. No cover present. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here]
