Church Notes: 11thC(?) church; much modified since -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00090796]: "La paroisse aurait été évangélisée par Saint-Lunaire en 540. L'ancienne église, datant de l'époque romane, occupe avec son cimetière l'emplacement d'un monastère primitif fondé au 6e siècle. La nef, du 11e siècle, est prolongée par un choeur plus récent ; les collatéraux ont été construits au 17e siècle. L'église renferme le tombeau de Saint-Lunaire qui se compose d'un sarcophage gallo-romain en granit recouvert, au 14e siècle, d'une dalle sculptée d'une statue du saint."
Font Notes:
Tub-shaped baptismal font decorated with a tall flat moulding below the upper rim, and a much thinner moulding at the very bottom of the vessel; rests directly on the ground. No cover present. There are a number of other related stone vessels -whether fonts or stoups- in the church; two of them are used as planters outside, to either side of the west entranceway; two others are inside the church: an octagonal stoup located by the west entranceway and a former column and its base located in the nave, also used as as stoup.
