Historique
Deux porches d'entrée datant de la fin du 17e siècle sont placés, l'un à l'est, l'autre à l'ouest du cimetière. Le portique ouest est orné, sur sa face est, d'une sculpture placée en garniture d'un fronton circulaire surmonté d'une croix en fer. De chaque côté de ce fronton étaient disposés des pots à feu dont l'un a disparu. Le portique Est diffère dans le dessin de l'arc et le profil des moulures. Le fronton est orné, sur sa face est, d'une niche à statue qui porte une inscription. Un bas-relief détérioré orne l'autre côté.

History
Two entrance porches dating from the end of the 17th century are placed, one to the east, the other to the west of the cemetery. The west portico is decorated, on its east face, with sculpture placed as an ornament of a circular pediment surmounted by an iron cross. On either side of this pediment were arranged fire pots one of which has disappeared. The east portico differs in the design of the arch and the profile of the mouldings. The pediment is decorated, on its east face, with a statue niche which bears an inscription. A damaged bas-relief decorates the other side.
