The entry for Corbie in the second volume of Expilly's Dictionnaire (1764) reports three "basiliques ou églises" in Corbie: the first dedicated to St. Peter & St. Paul, the second to St. John the Evangelist and the third to St. Stephen. Brutalis (1893-1899) notes that this late-12th century church was built very much in the general design of the church of Saint-Etienne, also in Corbie, but to a smaller scale; it served chiefly as parish church to the domestic servants of the Abbey of Corbie; no font is mentioned in it, and the church itself no longer exists.
