What remains of the medieval font of this church is a badly damaged basin; the round basin probably had human heads at 90-degree angles but they are no longer there; the carving on some of the sides is totally gone; one side has the characteristic lion head with vegetation issuing from its mouth; another nas a blind arcade of round arches; the base is a modern replacement. No cover present. Described and illustrated in https://jeanluccollignon.blog4ever.com/des-baptisteres-marnais-importes-de-belgique [accessedc 6 August 2022]
