Pire-sur-Seiche / Piré-sur-Seiche

Listed and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes d'Ille-et-Vilaine (2000) as a granite double-font of the late 16th century: it appears to have a main octagonal basin with a polygonal basinette, all of one block of stone; the short base is also part of the same block. The souce [cf. supra] reports that this font was taken out of the church circa 1875 [supposedly replaced by the marble oval mounted one which is still the main font in this church] and left in the open, near the bell-tower, until the abbé Rétif brought it back inside the church in 1981.
