Tollevast - Saint-Martin

The single-nave church "Saint-Martin" in the center of Tollevast dates back to the 11th/12th century. The church is known for extraordenary carvings inside and outside. Seigneur Henri de Tollevast, who fought on the side of William the Conquerer in Hastings, founded this church. His tomb can be found inside. I had been here five years ago and already uploaded many photos. Now I will add only very few. What a strange, grimacing face! It depicts for sure an emotional stress. Does it show pain? The figure holds a smaller face. Giving birth? It reminds me on two corbels, one in Spain and one in the Alsace. See the PiPs..
