The entry for this church in the French Wikipedia [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collégiale_Notre-Dame_de_Vernon] [accessed 26 April 2025]
mentions a 15th-century baptismal font in the baptismal chapel: "Cuve baptismale du XVe siècle". The font consists of a shallow hexagonal basin de corated with graded mouldings, raised on a hexagonal pedestal base and a graded lower base of the same shape; one of the sides of the pedestal font contains a human figure, others are decorated with tracery patterns. The metal font cover, also hexagonal in shape, is a very low, almost plat pyramid with a know handle. It is illustrated in a 30 September 2018 photograph by Giogo [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Collégiale_Notre-Dame_de_Vernon_-_vue_intérieure_22.jpg] [accessed 26 April 2025]. A photograph in Mémoire [ref.: AP80L054671] shows not the font but the stoup, but is captioned "Eglise Notre-Dame : Fonts baptismaux" even though the other photographs of the same object are captioned "Bénitier". [cf. BSI entry for Vernon No. 2 for the stoup]
