Church Notes: listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00083071]: "L'église [12e siècle] appartenait à un prieuré de Saint-Augustin, dépendant du monastère de Saint-Amand de Coly. L'origine semble remonter à la fin de l'époque romane (première travée voûtée d'arête et décorée de billettes). Les murs épais de la première travée supportent le clocher dont l'accès se fait par un petit escalier sur plan carré. Le reste de l'édifice semble appartenir au 15e siècle [...] Le portail a été refait au 13e siècle. Dans le tympan sont sculptés, en haut relief, deux lions épaulant une sculpture très frustre."
[NB: we have no information on the baptismal of the 12th-century church here].
