Baptismal font in Hadancourt-le-Haut-Clocher (the sculpture on the wooden lid does not belong to the baptismal font)

The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of St-Martin in Hadancourt-le-Haut-Clocher , a French commune in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the 12th century. In 1912, the Romanesque baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 84.5 cm high stone baptismal font stands on a rectangular base with four columns around a central shaft that support the octagonal basin. The simple basin is divided into two parts inside.

The structure of the baptismal font is typical of the 11th and 12th centuries in France.
