The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église devait primitivement se composer d'une nef à chevet plat. Appareil en assises de briques "toulousaines" alternant avec des lits de cailloux hourdés à bain de mortier ; contreforts en briques. De cette nef primitive subsiste le mur Est du chevet. A une époque ultérieure, sans doute au 17e siècle, cette nef unique est flanquée de deux bras de transept larges et courts, rendant ainsi sensiblement cruciforme le plan de l'édifice. Au 18e siècle, un clocher au portail classique est élevé à l'ouest de la nef primitive et forme porche ouvert sur le cimetière. Le mur du chevet est surélevé ou refait en pignon aigu. Ces additions sont réalisées en appareil de briques et galets, semblable à celui de la nef primitive. A l'intérieur, une voûte en bois nervée couvre la nef. De grandes arcades en anse de panier font communiquer celle-ci avec les bras du transept constituant chapelles latérales.

History
The church was originally to consist of a nave with a flat chevet. Facing of courses of "Toulousaine" bricks alternating with beds of pebbles jointed in a mortar bed; buttresses in brick. Of this primitive nave there remains the east wall of the chevet. At a later period, probably in the 17th century, this single nave is flanked by two arms of wide and short transept, thus rendering the plan of the building substantially cruciform. In the 18th century, a bell tower with a classical portal is raised to the west of the primitive nave and forms a porch open onto the cemetery. The wall of the chevet is heightened or remade as an acute gable. These additions are realized in facing of brick and pebbles, similar to that of the primitive nave. Inside, a timber rib vault covers the nave. Large segmental arches allow communication between the latter and the arms of the transept constituting lateral chapels.
