The entry for this church in Sambreville, Histoire des églises [https://sambreville-2-0.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Histoire_des_églises] [accessed 30 March 2024] informs that when the earlier church was re-built in 1863 it retained the 16th-century Gothic baptismal font from the old building ["L'église de 1863 était un édifice spacieux à 3 nefs. Le mobilier était entièrement néo-gothique. Les fonds baptismaux étaient, eux, gothiques (XVIe S.)"] [NB: a photograph of the font in the same source, however, shows the date "1601" inscribed on the side of the basin].
