Font Notes:
A photograph of the S porch of the church of Saint-Nonna appears in the Dictionnaire des églises... (1966- . IV A 89); the parting column (mullion) of the entrance widens at about a meter up from the ground forming a holy-water stoup; there appears to be a figure grasping the basin with arms and legs, just as the one found on the stoup at the ancient church of Notre-Dame in Tinténiac (Ille-et-Vilaine)
