The church,
dedicated to Our Lady of the Nativity, boasts many interesting
features :
• The
nave
is 16.80m long and 9.80m wide.
• A 6m-long and 3.80m-wide
chapel
is situated to the left hand side of the nave.
• The
vestry is found at the
northern end of the church.
• The nave opens to the south by an arched Romanesque door
surrounded by an archivolt.
• The semi-circular apse’s stone roof sits on a cornice on
which alternate modillions and stones pierced with a circular
hole.
•
Inscriptions are engraved on
the outside walls
(prayers or funeral stones).
•
Foot prints
are engraved on
either side
of an ancient, walled-up door
which doubtless provided monks with access to the adjoining
priory,. Barefoot, or shod « à la poulaine » or in « crakows
», they symbolised the return from a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land.
