The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le clocher est constitué par un mur assez élevé, percé de quatre baies ogivales destinées à recevoir les cloches. Les arcs ogifs ne sont pas extradossés, contrairement au principe de construction adopté au Moyen-Age. Il semblerait donc que l'étage des baies a été l'objet d'une restauration ou d'un remaniement, probablement à l'époque où il a été nécessaire d'établir un ancrage dans la partie médiane du clocher pour éviter son déversement. Le portail du 16e siècle s'orne de sculptures dans la partie supérieure, représentant la crucifixion. Au centre, le Christ en croix flanqué des deux larrons. Aux pieds du Christ, se trouvent la Vierge et Marie-Madeleine. La clef du portail est ornée de deux anges sculptés, agenouillés, portant des encensoirs.

The bell tower is constituted by a fairly lofty wall, pierced with four pointed-arch openings intended to receive the bells. The pointed arches are not overarched, contrary to the principle of construction adopted in the Middle Ages. It would seem therefore that the storey of openings was the subject of restoration or remodelling, probably at the time when it was necessary to establish an anchor in the middle part of the bell tower to prevent its tilting. The 16th century portal is ornamented with sculptures in the upper part, representing the crucifixion. At the centre, Christ on the cross flanked by the two thieves. At the feet of Christ, there are found the Virgin and Mary Magdalene. The key of the portal is ornamented with two sculpted angels, kneeling, bearing censers.
