view of church interior - statue - St. Vignoc

Scene Description: listed [ref.: ]: "bois : taillé, peint [...] 17e siècle [...] Saint Vignoc est représenté debout, tenant un livre dans sa main dextre et un bâton surmonté d'une croix dans la main senestre. le saint est vêtu d'une aube blanche et d'une chasuble rouge comportant deux bordures dorées [...] Oeuvre restaurée par Marie Soula en 2013 [...] Vognoc serait le troisième fil de Juthaël, roi de la Domnonée. Il serait né en Bretagne, dans le pays de Dol vers 650. Avec plusieurs compagnons bretons, il se rendit dans l'actuelle région du Nord-Pas-de-Calais où il devint disciple d'un abbé. Il reçut ensuite l'autorisation de fonder un monastère à Bergues (Nord). En 685, il fonda une abbaye de bénédictins à Wormhout dont il devint bbé. Il serait décédé en 717. Saint Vignoc (Winoc) est le patron des meuniers."

Church Notes: the altar and retable are said to be originally from the Abbey of Beauport -- Mérimée ref. : PA00089351: "Ancienne église paroissiale figurant, dès 1198, parmi les biens de Saint-Riom confirmés par le pape Innocent III. Supprimée à la Révolution, elle fut unie à Paimpol par ordonnance royale du 19 juin 1824. L'édifice, en forme de croix latine, présente la particularité archéologique d'avoir les angles du chevet et du transept arrondis. La charpente, depuis une restauration à une date indéterminée, est pyramidale. L'autel proviendrait de l'abbaye de Beauport." The choir chairs may also have been brought from Beauport.

Font Notes: Click to view font notes

Basin of a baptismal made of coarse granite; the irregular basin is octagonal and is decorated with three large heads on alternate sides; the heads appear to be male; one has hair coiffed in the form of a wig; another may be that of a monk; the forth alternate side has a protrusion of semi-circular shape and serves as the auxiliary basin, a primitive form of double-basin font perhaps; oddly, though, this secodary basin lacks a proper drain, and the main basin does not have one either; there is a hole on the side of the small basin but it is too high to serve as drainage; there is damage on two opposite sides of the upper rim of the basin, where there are still remains of the metal staples of the cover hardware; two other indentations appear also on the rim, as they do on other such fonts of this area of Brittany. Only the basin remains, now raised on a wooden pedestal. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original 12th-century church here]
