Ploudiry Parish close

Ploudiry Parish close, Parish close in the town of Ploudiry, France.

The Ploudiry Parish close comprises the Église Saint-Pierre, an ossuary, a calvary and an enclosing wall. The church has a grey slate roof, a square stone tower with a balustraded balcony, and a central facade with a recessed round-arched doorway framed by carved stonework and a band of weathered statues in niches. A pointed-arch window with tracery stands to the right.

The parish close's oldest parts date to the 1630s; the south porch was built in 1665 and the chevet in 1700. The bell tower collapsed on 19 February 1850, destroying part of the church, and architect Joseph Bigot rebuilt it between 1853 and 1856, with an inscription dated 1856 on the west gable. The church and ossuary were listed as monuments historiques in 1916, the calvary and enclosure wall in 1997.

The south porch, built in 1665 of yellow Logonna and Kersanton stone, carries carved panels of Genesis and the Passion: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, then prophets and Church doctors around the arch. The Rosary altarpiece dates to 1644, and the infant Jesus altarpiece came from La Martyre in 1793.

The church and ossuary were listed as monuments historiques in 1916; the calvary and enclosing wall were added in 1997. A restoration programme begun in 2020 covers the bell tower, masonry, timber roof frame, Monts d'Arrée slate roof, vault and its polychromy, and the stained glass, so parts of the ensemble may be under scaffolding. The south porch of 1665 is the oldest surviving feature to look for.

The 1665 south porch mixes yellow Logonna stone with Kersanton. Its piédroits carry six Genesis scenes: Adam and Eve under the tree, the expulsion, Cain and Abel, Abel's death, and Noah drunk with Cham covering him. Twelve figures on the voussoirs include the four prophets and the four Eastern and four Western Doctors of the Church.
