Church Notes: 12thC church, modified 16th and 17thC; listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00104462]: " Cette église, dépendant du chapitre cathédral d'Angoulême, n'a conservé de sa nef romane que le mur ouest. Elle a été remontée à la fin du 16e siècle et sa partie orientale élargie pour former transept. L'édifice a reçu un berceau très brisé. Le faux carré, plus étroit, sous le clocher, est couvert d'une coupole sur arc. A l'ouest, les supports sont des colonnes sur pilastres. La façade est percée d'une porte romane à trois rouleaux sur piédroits. Des contreforts du 16e siècle appuient les extrémités de la nef et du transept. Ceux du faux carré, au sud-ouest duquel est placé l'escalier, sont romans. Le clocher rectangulaire est placé au-dessus de la coupole. Le second étage est percé de baies jumelles, séparées par une colonnette."
Font Notes:
Listed by Enlart (1902) among a group of 12th century unmounted tub-shaped fonts (octagonal) ornamented with a blind arcade. Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM16000212] where it is dated 13th-century. The monolithic octagonal basin has vertical sides decorated with a series of geometric motifs and patterns, some repeated on several of the sides: the northwest side has a 4-petal floral motif resembling a Greek cross on its side, and three round windows or blind arches below; other sides have rows of diamond/lozenge, chequered pattern and arch/window patterns. There is a wooden cover of modern appearance, octagonal and flat, with metal reinforcement; some of the now-repaired damage to the uppr rim may be related to earlier anchors for an old cover. The font is located now [September 2016] at the west end of the nave, by the west entranceway; earlier photographs of 2014 show the font in a different location withing the church; the earlier photographs show the damage to the upper rim of the font, whereas the 2016 photographs show the damage repaired.
