Historique
Petit monument composé d'un autel de pierre que surmonte une croix décorée du crucifix et de deux personnages assis, adossés à une construction crénelée qui semble représenter un château fort. Ce petit monument, qui serait une oeuvre du 16e siècle, fut probablement à l'origine, la croix du cimetière, et fut utilisé plus tard comme tombeau. La pierre d'autel est une pierre tombale réemployée et porte l'inscription de la sépulture de Dame Henriette de Foucaud de Lardimalie, fille du chevalier d'Aydée et de Aissé.

History
Small monument composed of a stone altar which is surmounted by a cross decorated with a crucifix and two seated figures, set against a crenellated construction which appears to represent a stronghold. This small monument, which would be a work of the 16th century, was probably originally the cross of the cemetery, and was later used as a tomb. The altar stone is a reused tombstone and bears the inscription of the burial of Lady Henriette de Foucaud de Lardimalie, daughter of the knight d'Aydée and of Aissé.
