Église de Saint Vaast de Boran (Oise) - France - Medieval Churches on Waymarking.com

[FR] Le choeur a été financé par l’évêque de Beauvais au 15ème siècle tandis que le clocher ne fut érigé qu’au 16ème siècle.

Le portail a été restauré en 1908, il est abrité sous un porche qui date de 1915. Il présente une ogive aiguë, ornée de tores et de cannelures.

Le tympan est, lui-même, orné de deux têtes d’ogive à trois lobes arrondis et d’une rose à quatre pétales. Sur les côtés, au niveau des impostes, deux rangs de feuilles entablées.

Le clocher, haut de 49 mètres, se termine par une flèche à pyramide octogonale entièrement en pierre.

La tourelle polygonale, à l’opposé du clocher, est de la fin du 13ème siècle. Elle est coiffée d’une pyramide à crochets : c’est la Lanterne des Morts.
