Church Notes: earliest church here mid-10thC; present church 12thC, modified 15thC listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00099711]: "En 945, Bosson, frère de Raynald d'Aubusson, abbé laïc de Moutiers-Roseille et d'Evaux, cède l'église de la Chapelle-Spinasse, le village, les bois et les champs, à l'abbaye Saint-Martial de Tulle. La commune devient alors le siège d'un prieuré, ensuite annexé à celui de Grandsaigne. Petit sanctuaire à nef unique et chevet carré, typiquement corrézien, édifié au 12e siècle puis agrandi par des chapelles latérales et voûté sur croisées d'ogives à la fin du 14e ou au début du 15e siècle."
Églises de Corrèze [http://eglises.de.correze.online.fr/eglise-c.php] [accessed 18 January 2017] reports a 13th-century baptismal font in this church. Listed and illustrated in Palissy [ref.: PM19000111]: "Cuve octogonale [granite] monolithe posée sur un socle à pans coupés [...] Chaque pan de la cuve est sculpté d'une arcature en cintre brisé ; aux écoinçons sont sommairement sculptés des masques en bas-relief. [..] 14e siècle, 15e siècle (?)". There is also a granite holy-water stoup in this church, by the entranceway, north side; it consists of a plain narrow cylindrical basin raised on a cylindrical pedestal base that is plain but for a roll moulding at the lower end; it may be a composite piece, the basin perhaps older; its entry in Palissy [ref.: IM19000521] notes: "Pas de datation pour ce bénitier", but mentions a "croix gravé" at the lower end of the pedestal base.
