This is the back of the Priory building, which I'm pretty sure dates from the same time as the re-building of the church - some time in the 1600's. I don't know if the tower is for a bell, - it might have been a granary, but anyway it is quite an unusual design for this part of France, it has an almost Italianate look. As well as looking good, the building has been converted into a nice restaurant, called Auberge du Prieuré, so doubly interesting! 1983 Nikon L35AF, f2.8/35mm Nikon lens, x2 green filter.

This is the view from the west, and the part nearest the camera dates from the 12th-13thC, but following a disastrous fire, the building was almost completely rebuilt in the 1600's. I suspect that the carpentered spire was added later. This was a Priory church, and the direct access from the Priory can be seen just beyond the buttress. Nicely restored, (if a trifle generous with the mortar!), and the interior has some nice medieval murals which were refreshed very sympathetically in 2012-13 1983 Nikon L35AF, f2.8/35mm Nikon lens, x2 green filter.

View of the eastern elevation. More play with PC-Glycol developer, this time with Kodak TMax400, which has been in my little Nikon L35AF for longer than I care to admit! I used a pale green filter instead of the usual yellow - a nice compromise which makes dark hedges and trees less gloomy! 1983 Nikon L35AF, f2.8/35mm Nikon lens, x2 green filter.
