Church Notes: Eglise en ruines de Pont-Christ et calvaire attenant listed in Mérimée [ref,: PA00090400] -- The Phaidon guide (France, 1985, p. 320) mentions a water stoup [cf. Index entry for Roche Maurice No. 2] either in the stylobate or in the church itself, above which there is a depiction of Death armed with an arrow; the guide mentions also a magnificient view of the Elorn valley from the cemetery.
The font shown in Malle (1994) is a pedestal 15th century font with a rounded basin which has very flat ribs on the outside and, also, visible on one side, a shield; the upper rim of the basin resembles a lip over the top. The base is a simple cylindrical column with plain mouldings at top and bottom. The font stands in the church grounds [ruins] and appears to be of very coarse granite.
