The entry for Rubescourt in Armoiries Samariennes [http://remus80.eklablog.com/rubescourt-a210324500] [accessed 15 April 2023] informs that the original parish church of St. Martin was in the nearby hamlet of Pas but, being distant from the vilage, was abandoned in 1867 in favour of a new church built right in the centre of Rubescourt: "Eglise Saint-Martin. L'ancienne se trouvait donc à Pas, elle était enclavée dans les bâtiments de la ferme, sans aucun caractère depuis que l'on avait abattu le clocheton qui s'élevait au-dessus de l'entrée. Trop éloignée du centre du village , elle fut abandonnée en 1867 et remplacée par une nouvelle église dans le centre du village. On a laissé dans cette ancienne église, qui sert aujourd'hui de débarras, d'immenses pierres tombales portant encore quelques restes de dessins, les inscriptions sont illisibles. L'église [the new one] ainsi que le village [Rubescourt] ont subi de gros dégâts lors de la Première Guerre, elle fut reconstruite après 1918."  The basin is round and moulded; the base is bell-shaped and has a roll moulding atop; the lower base has a roll moulding atop and appears to have been cut to polygonal below, although this lower part may have been a later addition. Modern font cover of wood; graded upper surface with orb-and-cross finial.
