Doussay - Saint-Martin

I had not planned to visit Doussay, a small village in Vienne, but the lady I met in Airvault borrowed me her "Sculpture romane du Poitou" a valuable book, I do not own.

There I found out, that Saint-Martin in Dourssay could be traced back to Carolingian times and had even pre-Romanesque elements. When I read about an "elephant-carving" in Doussay, I changed my schedule - and reached the church early morning only to see, that the church was a ruin, fenced in under reconstruction, surrounded by heaps of building material and heavy machinery. "No Entry" signs everywhere!
