Church Notes: medieval church modified and fortified in the mid-16th and mid-17thC -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00115568]: "Le choeur a été édifié au milieu du 16e siècle, à l'emplacement de l'ancienne église médiévale. La nef, le transept et le porche correspondent à la partie fortifiée, datant du 17e siècle. La sacristie est reconstruite en 1874 par l'architecte Benard, de style néo-Renaissance. Après la Première guerre mondiale, reprise des voûtes du donjon et d'une partie du clocher (1926). Il s'agit d'un édifice en croix latine renversée, avec choeur à chevet plat comportant une voûte à nervures multiples et une voûte d'ogives. Un escalier hors oeuvre, couvert d'une flèche conique, dessert le comble. Le clocher-porche, desservi par un escalier demi hors-oeuvre, s'élève sur trois niveaux dont les deux premiers sont voûtés d'ogives. L'étage de comble communique ave celui du transept. La sacristie est ornée, à l'extérieur, de motifs en brique vernissée (coeurs, porteurs de croix, losanges, entrelacs, calice)."
Corblet simply says that is Romanesque (Corblet, 1881-1882, v. 2, p. 119). The table-top type stone font consists of a square basin with a rouned underbowl and four protrusions at the corners bewlow to accommodate four outer colonnettes of the base, but the colonnettes themselves are missing now, if they ever were there; the stem of the base is a broad shaft, round and plain; the lower base is square in shape and hast the mouldings around the five columnar bases; the lower half of the lower base appears to have been extended down with a plinth made of bricks. Woodenl font cover, round and flat; hinged in the middle.
