Font Notes: Click to view

Baptismal font consisting of a main octagonal basin raised on a square pedestal base of the baluster type, and a secondary hexagonal basin raised on a round pedestal base, although both bases are a single volume of stone; whereas the main basin is of regular design, the secondary basin resembles a protrusion at underbowl level; the main basin is round on the inside but has several large indentations the use of which is not entirely understood; the secondary basin has a very shallow oval surface on the inside, and a large drain hole on the side closest to the main basin; the pedestal base is, as indicated above, a single block of stone, round on the north side, which corresponds to the secondary basin, and a moulded square baluster on the south side, which corresponds to the main basin. There is damage to the upper rim of the main basin where the metal staples of the old cover are located. The font is located in a narrow chapel or alcove of the north wall. The design of this granite font fits well with those of the area, even the odd shape of the main basin's inner well; double fonts vary quite a lot in design even throughout Brittany.
