St. Peter Church

Placed under the protection of St. Peter, the church was first mentioned around 1050.

The current building is composed of two parts: the first of the 16th and 17th centuries, the second, the portal and the choir, is from the 18th century. There are three cross beams in the nave where the date of 1534 (reign of Francis I) is inscribed on each of them, in Roman numerals on the first, in Arabic numerals on the second and in handwriting on the third. The whole thing was largely rebuilt a little later.

The church lost its title of branch parish in 1807 to be attached to Fontaine le Bourg, becoming a mere chapel with a priest housed in the presbytery and maintained by the inhabitants. It regained its title in 1856 to depend on the dean of Clères.

Thanks to a subscription, the new rectory was built in 1862.

Father Simon, unsworn priest

At the revolution, in 1791, Georges Hermier, vicar, took an oath to the Constitution in these words: "I swear hatred to royalty and anarchy, attachment and faithfulness to the Republic and the Constitution of the year III."

That is what Father Simon refused.

The latter was then forced to leave the rectory he occupied. The Sieur de Fermanel welcomed him with his furniture, in his castle of Mesnil Godefroy. He had him say a mass in the chapel of the estate during the installation mass of his successor, prohibiting many inhabitants and servants from attending that of the new parish priest.

After retiring to a surgeon's relative in Eu, he was deported in July 1794.

On his return, in 1801, he appeared before Mayor Joseph Leclerc and was sworn in to the constitution of 5 Fructidor. He then returned to his ministry.

He died on January 26, 1804.
