Font Notes:
Fernand Doucet's Rulles-Marbehan et les alentours au cours du temps [https://docplayer.fr/222088420-Fernand-doucet-restranscrit-par-jacques-nicolas-a-partir-du-document-original-dedie-a-m-maurice-grevisse-rulles-marbehan.html] [accessed 1 October 2023] mentions a discarded font in the vicarage garden: "quant aux vieux fonts baptismaux, relégués comme antiquité dans le jardin du presbytère et dont le pied est également gothique, leur origine parait aussi très reculée [...] Les anciens fonts baptismaux relégués au fond du verger du presbytère de Rulles du temps de M. le Conrotte Ver, témoin de l ancienneté de la paroisse de Rulles Marbehan"; presumably this would have taken place ca. 1819, when the old church was demolished and a new one built on a new site. A 19th-century baptismal font in Rulles is listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10059771] [accessed 1 October 2023]: "fonts baptismaux [...] 1801-1900 [...] pierre [...] hauteur: 72 cm [...] jardin du presbytère". [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
