Saint-Brice-de-Landelles / St-Brice-de-Landelles

Vivier-Seguin (1941) report this font as rectangular, made of granite; they date it to the 15th or 16th century. Unlike many granite fonts its basin has a detailed carving program: one side has a double pannel in very high relief; the left has a square frame with a crown in it and, inside the crown, a rose; the spandrels of this frame have long trilobes; the right pannel has an Ogee arch within a square frame and, in it, two smaller Ogee arches; there are trilobes on the sides and a heart in the centre; other details include a chalice and a cross. The base is also rectangular and made of two granite blocks with deep mouldings. At the time of V-S' report [ca. 1941] there was a wooden pyramidal cover of recent manufacture.
