Ygrande - Saint Martin

07 May 2017 178
Saint Martin´s preceding church belonged to the diocese of Clermont, but the Sires de Bourbon (-Archambaud) transferred it within the 11th century to the Bishop of Nevers. A century later it was owned by the Cluniac priory of Souvigny. At that time the old church got demolished and the erection of Saint Martin started. A strange capital inside Saint Martin. All three heads have protruding tongues. "Enormous tongues" are a very specific icon all around Châteaumeillant (dept. Cher), just about 60kms west. Does the left person wear a mitra? Are they vomiting?
