History

THE BLAZON OF TELOCHE:

The helmet evokes the Celtic origins of Téloché, the other elements being a recall of the two principal seigniories located, formerly, on the round of applause of the commune.

The money star on bottom of azure is borrowed from the armorial bearings of the PEG LADDER, and the lion finds itself on those of the POSSET

In 1888, the Congregation built a new vault, of neo-gothic style, capped with a gracious pinnacle - that one can see on the left on the photograph - , to replace the old one.
