Church Notes: original manor church/chapel; 15thC tower retained in 1784 church; 19thC modifications -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00132802]: "Ancienne chapelle seigneuriale qui possède un clocher du 15e siècle, une nef et un choeur du début du 18e siècle (nef : 1704, choeur : 1706)"
Baptismal font consisting of a square basin with rounded underbowl, on a rounded pedestal base; the back of the basin and that of the pedestal of the base appear to be cemented to the west wall of the nave, the cemented part hiding perhaps the true shape of the base; the whole font is covered in an unappealing beige wash. Wooden cover [NB: it is not clear to us whether the urn-like object on the cover is actually part of it, or just standing on it].
