There are two baptismal fonts now in this church; they are noted and illustrated in the Patrimoine iroise site [https://www.patrimoine-iroise.fr/culturel/religieux/Pierre-Vincent.php] [accessed 15 October 2023]: "Les fonts baptismaux. L'espace réservé aux baptêmes se trouve dans l'aile nord du transept. Les deux bassins ne sont visiblement pas de la même époque et le plus ancien, au socle octogonal, pourrait provenir de l'église précédente." Of the two, one appears, as suggested in the source above, dated to the 16th-century building; the other one could date to the mid-19th century re-building.
