Font Notes:
Baptismal font consisting of a main octagonal basin mounted on an octagonal pedestal base, and a smaller secondary basin, also octagonal and mounted on an octagonal pedestal base; the two basins appear to be part of the same block of granite; the pedestals of the base and the splying lower bases are also granite; the main basin has a round interior of two levels, and the inner sides have been notched at opposite ends; on the other two opposing sides are large metal staples from an old cover; there is no drain hole in the main basin, as per usual; black paint appears to have been used to highlight the contours of the basin panels. The smaller secondary basin is octagonal both in side and out, and has a drain hole; there are no cover staples in its upper rim. No cover was present at the time of our visit. [cf. Index entry for Plehedel No. 2 for a holy-water stoup in the south porch of 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]]
