Church Notes: church listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00089383]: "Rare exemple d'architecture romane bretonne, cette église en granit du 12e siècle est surtout intéressante par les sculptures du porche et des chapiteaux historiés de la nef. Y serait représenté, entre autre, le combat du roi Arthur et d'Eflam contre le dragon qui avait élu domicile à l'abri du rocher de Roch Hirglas, près de Lannion. La partie haute de l'édifice, du centre au chevet, est un gothique du 15e siècle."
Described in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- ) simply as a 12th century stoup. The figural stoup [cf. infra] is dated 12th-century in Merimee [référence PM22000722]. [NB: the entry in Mémoire [ref.: AP22W01326] [https://www.pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/memoire/AP22W01326] [acessed 26 November 2022], however, that appears to illustrated this very object, reads "Bénitier, vue générale [...] 15e siècle", and the location given in the entry is the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Clarté -- is this the same stoup or a different one?]. The quadrangular stoup is dated 14th-century and identified as a former grain measure in Merimee [référence PM22000723]: ""Ancienne mesure à blé servant de bénitier [...] 14e siècle [...] L = 120 ; la = 70 ; pr = 15". Noted and illustrated in Petit Patrimoine [www.petit-patrimoine.com/fiche-petit-patrimoine.php?id_pp=22168_2] [accessed 17 May 2013] and in Info Bretagne [www.infobretagne.com/perros-guirec-eglise.htm] [accessed 17 May 2013] as a holy-water stoup of the 12th century decorated with four human atlante-like figures 'clinging' to the outer sides of the basin; the shape of the basin is roughly hemispheric.
