Church Notes: documented 10thC as a church dependant on the Abbaye de Sauxillanges; expanded 19thC -- listed and illustrated in Mérimée [ref.: PA00091902] and [IA00060426]: "Eglise du 12e siècle, sous le vocable de sainte Marguerite ou de Notre-Dame ; au 15e siècle, modification des chapelles latérales des 2e et 3e travées ; destruction du clocher au 18e siècle, très vraisemblablement en 1793 ; en 1875, projet d'adjonction de 2 chapelles latérales au nord et au sud du choeur, par l'architecte Fourt, exécution de ce projet en 1877 ; en 1897 et 1898, projet de reconstruction du clocher ; mise en oeuvre de ce projet à une date indéterminée".
The entry for this church in the Inventaire général du Patrimoine culturel de l'Auvergne [Référence Palissy IM63000429] mentions a baptismal font and a holy-water stoup in it. The entry [Référence Palissy IM63000430], however, notes that there is documentation that attests to the existence at the time [1908?] of a baptismal font, a basin on a pedestal base, disused at the time and located, upturned, in the exterior of the church; the original entry mentioned chevron decoration on the basin. The 1988 inventory entry [Palissy IM63000430] noted that the basin could not be found anywhere, inside or outside the church, and that the former base of the font was being then used, turned upside down, as base for the holy-water stoup [Palissy IM63000431]; the font itself is noted as: "Fonts baptismaux [granite] dont subsiste seulement le pied ; l'existence de la cuve baptismale est attestée par une fiche de classement parmi les objets monuments historiques ; à l'époque de l'établissement de la fiche, la cuve se trouvait à l'extérieur de l'église, renversée sur le sol ; la fiche précise qu'elle comportait un décor de hachures en chevrons ; lors de l'enquête de 1988 la cuve ne se trouvait ni dans ni aux abords de l'église ; le décor très fruste du pied, actuellement remployé comme support d'un bénitier (63000431), a suggéré une datation relativement reculée, peut-être 12e siècle."
