Baptismal font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM62003031] [https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/palissy/PM62003031] [accessed 20 August 2022]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Grès : taillé [...] H = 99 ; la = 55 (cuve)". Baptismal font consisting of a basin that is square et the top and a somewhat rounded underbowl, raised on a broad cylindrical sten and a round-to-square lower base, the bottom of which is partially buried in the ground. No cover present. The entry in Palissy [cf. supra] does not suggest a date for this battered font and, although the present church is 16th-century, the font itself could be of an earlier date, either from an earlier church in Servins or from a nearby location.
