The baptismal font in the new church is described and illustrated in ville-allouagne.fr [https://www.ville-allouagne.fr/histoire-et-patrimoine/] [accessed 11 August 2022]: "Les fonts baptismaux proviennent de l’ancienne église. La cuve est taillée dans du grès et porte les armes de la famille des seigneurs d’Allouagne, laquelle s’est éteinte dans la première moitié du XVIème siècle, ce qui fait remonter ces fonds [sic] baptismaux avant cette période."
