D'Otreppe de Beuville (1997) mentions the font at Erneuville as being made of 'arkose' in the 10th-11th century. The font is listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10045999] [accessed 25 December 2023]: "Fonts baptismaux [...] Date: 901 (incertain) - 1100 (incertain) [...] hauteur: 138 cm [...] cuve Xe-XIe h. 48, pied du XXe, couvercle m. XXe" [NB: the given height may include the cover]. The entry for this church in Open Churches [https://openchurches.eu/fr/edifices/saint-pierre-et-saint-denis-tenneville] [accessed 25 December 2023] reports a 1000+ year old baptismal font made of blue stone with a recent cover ["Dans le faux transept au-delà du vestibule d’entrée [...] une cuve baptismale de pierre bleue, plus que millénaire, a l’air creusée dans le fut d’une colonne (seul son couvercle est tout récent) [...] Ils sont en pierre avec une cuve (Xe-XIe s) dont le couvercle (XXe s) est en laiton. Ils sont surmontés d’un ange réalisé d’après un projet de Louis-Marie Londot (XXe s)." The roughly cylindrical shaped basin stands on what appears to be a modern replacement base. The modern font cover [cf. supra] is a low-dome with an angel stanting on a ball and blowing a long straight horn.
