Very good question. No, it means that the font is located at the same part of the church where the towers are to be found. The baptismal font in a church is often found on the ground floor just beneath where the towers rise.

The font is always somewhere inside of the church and, in this instance, I would say that it means that the font stood beneath the tower or that the tower was nearby.
Here's a link to Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. If I remember correctly, the font is located on the ground floor of the left tower.
