The baptismal font in this church is dated to the 18th century, perhaps to the date of the present church, 1786, which replaced the original one of the 13th century. It consists of a taller-than-life figure that probably represents Faith, holding a large cross in her left hand, and in her cupped right hand a roughly hemispheric basin from the bottom; at the foot of the statute is a vase-like vessel of similar decoration. The three components appear to make up a double-basin font, in which the round basin held by the angel would hold the baptismal water, while the vase-shaped basin below would collect the water that had run over the baptizand. A leaflet attached to the cross informs that a similar font exists at the nearby church of Plourhan, one made of waxed wood. [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the 13th-century church here].
