A holy-water stoup in this church is documented in Palissy [ref.: IM56002601]; the object is described as monolithic, round and made of granite, decorated with lozenge motifs; dated 15th-16th century. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original church here -- was it destroyed in 1917's fire] -- [cf.
