The entry for this church in Corrèze Patrimoine [www.correze-patrimoine.fr/orliac-de-bar] [accessed 1 March 2017] reports holy-water stoups in it from the original 12th-century church here: "L’église d’Orliac de Bar est globalement gothique. Datée du XVème siècle, elle a certainement été construite sur l’emplacement d’une église antérieure dont il ne reste que quelques éléments romans : chapiteaux, bénitiers, élément du chevet."
