The lost church dedicated to Saint Gervais

The reunion of the parishes of the Authieux and Ratiéville by ordinance of 18 December 1822 was the reason for the church, to be declared of no use and permission to demolish was given in 1825.Dedicated to Saint Gervais and Saint Protais, built in the middle of the cemetery (plot 167 of the land registry), it is of small size:

• the nave with its two chapels dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Nicholas is 10 m by 6m50

• the choir, panelled in oak wood, and the sacristy are 9 m by 5m.

The pews of the church were sold, in 1791, "in two or three times" by Jean Desmarest, treasurer; a right contested by Jean Pierre Petit and Saunier, former treasurers. He appeared before the judge in Grugny; the latter proved him right "by saying that he had acted according to the old custom and to the almost general wish of the parish”.

Later, in 1809, and despite the protests of the inhabitants, the 122-kilogram bell was sold (at the same time as the One of Le Tôt), and the money was donated to the Clères Factory.

The last parish priest, Armand Constant Godefroy, was installed in 1774. It was he who invited aeronaut Blanchard (see notice) to dinner on May 23, 1784 after landing. In 1791, he was to take an oath to the Constitution. Having not raised his hand, the municipality reported him to the district requesting information about his civic duties. He was sworn in again in 1794.

Still a parish priest in 1802, he retracted, and the archbishop then rated him as "bad and stubborn". He ceased his function in 1805, the parish was then without a parish priest.

The church was demolished 20 years later.
