Polygonal stoup inside the church, wall-mounted just E of the S entrance; totally plain; date uncertain but may go back to the late-Gothic period. The chapel is listed in the database Mérimée [ref.: PA00089352] [www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/merimee_fr] [accessed 5 March 2013] as chiefly of the 18th century, but a door of the 15th and a window of the 16th. Granite Calvary outside the chapel with inscription on it: ": F : F : PAR MOI / FRANCOIS / JAC / GOUVERNEUR / DE N. D. DE K / GRIST / 1714 ; S. MARC. S. MATHIEU. S. LUC. S. IEAN ; INRI" [source: http://sallevirtuelle.cotesdarmor.fr/asp/inventaire/paimpol/Geoviewer/Data/html/IA22015731.html] [accessed 5 March 2013]. There are two good paintings of the mid-17th century inside the chapel, recently restored. [NB: no font known to have existed here, but there was a holy well on the northeast side].
