Historique
Eglise comprenant des éléments allant du 12e au 16e siècle. L'abside du 12e est à cinq pas, avec un panneau central occupé par un grand oculus en forme de rose. Les murs de la nef sont également du 12e siècle. A la fin du 14e siècle, après l'occupation anglaise, l'église fut voûtée. Des colonnettes ornées de feuillages et de personnages stylisés furent ajoutées pour recevoir la retombée des nervures des voûtes de l'abside, du choeur et des trois travées de la nef. Deux petites chapelles furent ajoutées au début du 15e siècle pour former transept. Le portail est du 15e siècle. Le clocher-mur ajouré de quatre arcades date de la même époque, de même que la tourelle d'escalier y conduisant.

History
Church comprising elements dating from the 12th to 16th century. The 12th-century chevet has five bays, with a central panel occupied by a large rose-shaped oculus. The walls of the nave are also from the 12th century. At the end of the 14th century, following the English occupation, the church was vaulted. Small columns decorated with foliage and stylized figures were added to receive the springings of the ribs of the vaults of the chevet, the choir and the three bays of the nave. Two small chapels were added at the beginning of the 15th century to form a transept. The portal is from the 15th century. The pierced porch tower with four arcades dates from the same period, as does the stair turret leading to it.
