A 15th-century vessel in this church is recorded twice in Palissy, one entry as a holy-water stoup [ref.: PM22000113] and another entry as a baptismal font [ref.: IM22002526]. The stoup entry reads: "bénitier [...] Cuve octogonale ornée de quatre masques et de quatre écus. [...] granite [...] Armoiries : Rohan, Clisson, Navarre et France." The font entry reads: "fonts baptismaux [...] granite (monolithe) [...] Pied circulaire, cuve octogonale [...] Fonts baptismaux du 15e siècle portant les blasons des familles de Clisson et de Rohan alliées depuis 1407 [...] Armes des Rohan (7 macles) ; armes de Clisson (lion dressé et couronné) ; armes de Navarre et Rohan ; autre blason martelé ; quatre têtes d'hommes et de femmes alternant avec les blasons." Info Bretagne [www.infobretagne.com/cheze.htm] [accessed 2 August 2013], however, notes that this granit stoup may have originally been the baptismal font of the castle chapel [="Le bénitier en granit date du XVème siècle et porte les armes des familles de Clisson, de Rohan et de Navarre (il s'agit semble-t-il des fonts baptismaux de l'ancienne chapelle du château, propriété des ducs de Rohan]".
