The ruins of this priory church are reported in Brutails (1893-1899) as being part of a farm at the time; in earlier times, this source notes, "une église s'élevait contre l'habitation du prieur"; abandoned after the Revolution, a farmer family had occupied these premises since 1826. [NB: we have no information on the font here].
