Church Notes: church listed in Mérimée [ref.: IA00003087 - PA00089478]: "Aile sud 15e ; nef agrandie en 1662 ; chapelle nord reconstruite en 1708 ; clocher porche en 1711 ; restauration de 1846 à 1849 par menez et Montfort sur plans Bontemp".
Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM22001494]: "Fonts baptismaux à deux bassins et cuve en plomb. Réserve octogonale avec pied octogonal [...] e 15e siècle ; 16e siècle". Noted in InfoBretagne [www.infobretagne.com/plougonver.htm] [accessed 7 November 2013]: "Les fonts baptismaux, à deux cuves, datent du XVème siècle : 'fonts octogonaux à deux bassins portant des masques avec traces de peintures'." The coat of arms of the Keranflec'h family on it. There is one other object of more ancient appearance in this church, a quadrangular basin resting directly on the ground and attached to the wall on two sides; could it possibly be an earlier baptismal font here? Or is it, as often happens in churches in Brittany, a very rustic-looking stoup? There are two old wall-mounted holy-water stoups of different dates inside the church. InfoBretagne [ibid.] reports the nearby Chapelle de Saint-Tugdual, originally from the 15th-16th centuries, with its own medicinal water-well, which has survived; the disappeared chapels of Saint-Germain, Saint-Nicolas, Saint-Julien, Saint-Vincent-Ferrier and Sainte-Anne du Cludon, all destroyed. Noteworthy crosses at Kerigonan (16thC). Guernavalou (stem of 1776) and one between Paou and Botlan (1788).
