Français L'église de Coyecques est en pierre blanche de la dernière période gothique, composée d'une nef unique et d'une tour très trapue dont le rez-de-chaussée abrite le chœur. Cette tour est éclairée de chaque côté, à l'étage supérieur, par deux fenêtres jumelles en tiers-point. Au-dessus des fenêtres à l'Est, la date de 1671 apparaît en relief. Au-dessous des baies exposées au Sud figurent deux écussons martelés, portant sans doute à leur origine les armes de l'abbaye de Saint-Bertin qui possédait la seigneurie de Coyecques, et de l'abbé du temps, François d'Ostrel de Lières (1650-1674). Une crosse et l'escarboucle du blason de l'abbaye se distinguaient encore début XXe. Au rez-de-chaussée, du côté Sud, le chœur est éclairé par une grande fenêtre à trois baies. On y trouve aussi un graffite : 1675. Les contreforts de l'Est sont posés en diagonale mais ceux de l'Ouest sont droits, dans le prolongement des murs.
England The church of Coyecques is white stone from the late Gothic period, consisting of a single nave and a very squat tower whose ground floor houses the choir. This tower is illuminated on each side, on the upper floor, by two twin-point twin windows. Above the windows to the east, the date of 1671 appears in relief. Below the bays exposed to the South are two hammered shields, probably bearing at their origin the arms of the abbey of Saint-Bertin who owned the lordship of Coyecques, and the abbot of time, François d'Ostrel de Lières (1650-1674). A crosier and escarboucle of the coat of arms of the abbey were still distinguished early twentieth. On the ground floor, on the south side, the choir is lit by a large window with three bays. There is also a graffite: 1675. The foothills of the East are placed diagonally but those of the West are straight, in the extension of the walls.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1671
