Besides the two fonts found in this church, there is a stoup as well, made from a recycled capital probably from this same church: it has a rectangular top tapering in; below the flat upper part, which has an inscription with the date 1313; the rest of the basin is more rounded and has a high relief of a vine and serpent, a shield, a head with a crown of oak leaves, another shield with 2 letters (IC?) and 3 leaves or feathers on it, 3 maple leaves and a fig leaf, a number of other leaves and branches, 3 pilgrim shells, a wild-man head with a broken nose and with oak foliage in its mouth, and two oak leaves in that order from left to right of the basin surface. Malle (1994) has suggested that the pilgrim shells may be a reference to the pilgrimage to nearby Mont-Saint-Michel. The 'conversion' of this capital into a stoup took place in the 19th century according to Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000)
