Font Notes: Click to view

This vessel wall-mounted inside the south porch of the church is now used as a holy-water stoup, but bears several characteristics of a baptismal font, specially the stumps on the underbowl, originally made to serve as capitals to the colonnettes of the base, and the central drain in the inner well; the object is a polygonal basin partly embeded in the wall, either hexagonal or polygonal, the visible sides decorated with a single pointed arch-head on each. The basin is much earlier than the church itself, and may have belonged to an earlier church here; the two additional stoups inside the church appear to be of an earlier date than the present church itself. [cf. Index entry for Plehedel No. 1 for a double-font in this church]. There are several rural chapels in this area, as noted in Info Bretagne: "la chapelle Saint-Samson du Roscoat (XVème siècle). Edifice rectangulaire remontant au XVème siècle avec clocher-mur plus récent. Au-dessus de la porte sud, écusson martelé de la fin du XVIème ou début XVIIème siècle et autre écusson martelé au pignon ouest (R. Couffon). Mobilier : Statues toutes anciennes de saint Samson, Notre-Dame de Pitié, saint Eutrope, saint Nicolas et saint Yves (fin XVème siècle)" -- "la chapelle Saint-Michel (XVIIIème siècle), restauré au XXème par les soins du marquis de Boisgelin. Elle est de forme rectangulaire et son pignon Ouest porte un campanile. A droite de la porte d'entrée est gravée l'inscription " par le soin de Mre Frelicot " . La chapelle abrite une statue en bois polychrome de saint Michel (XVIIIème siècle) et des statues anciennes de saint Gilles, de saint Yves transformé en saint Eloi avec marteau en main, ainsi qu'un tableau intitulé " Saint-Michel " et daté du XVIIIème siècle" -- "calvaire de la chapelle Saint-Michel à Kerbiquet (XVIIIème siècle)" -- "anciennes chapelles, aujourd'hui disparues : - la chapelle de la Trinité, détruite au XIXème siècle. - la chapelle Saint-Fiacre" [source: www.infobretagne.com/plehedel.htm [accessed 5 July 2013]]
