The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'édifice se compose d'une nef d'une travée, suivie d'un choeur à abside plate, accolée au sud d'une chapelle. A l'origine, la nef devait être plus basse, le choeur actuel formait le carré du transept sous le clocher et un choeur devait exister à la suite. Les destructions de la guerre de Cent ans firent que l'église dut être assez endommagée pour en supprimer le choeur, la nef ayant été exhaussée pour un faire un réduit défensif, ainsi que le clocher. Une chapelle a été ajoutée au 19e siècle sur la face sud. Le clocher primitif est épaulé de contreforts. Sa face est, qui forme le chevet actuel, présente la trace de l'arc qui ouvrait sur le choeur primitif. Sur la façade, portail et baies du 17e ou 18e siècle.

History
The building is composed of a nave of one bay, followed by a choir with flat apse, adjoined to the south by a chapel. Originally, the nave was to be lower, the present choir formed the transept square under the bell tower and a choir was to exist thereafter. The destructions of the Hundred Years' War meant that the church must have been damaged enough to have its choir removed, the nave having been raised to make it a defensive stronghold, as was the bell tower. A chapel was added in the 19th century on the south face. The primitive bell tower is braced by buttresses. Its east face, which forms the present chevet, presents the trace of the arch which opened onto the primitive choir. On the façade, portal and openings of the 17th or 18th century.
