"The church of Saint-Brice de Bréxent-Énocq is the result of two distinct construction campaigns: the nave, lower than the choir and with very thick walls, has checkerboard sidings of sandstone and flint carefully arranged.

The openings are few. The western gable made of sandstone is reinforced at the ends by an apparatus of bricks in spikes undoubtedly posterior.

The chalky choir, pierced by semicircular windows, seems to have been restored. It consists of two straight bays and a chevet with three sides. "

" L’église Saint-Brice de Bréxent-Énocq est le fruit de deux campagnes de construction distinctes. La nef, plus basse que le chœur et aux murs très épais, présente des parements en damier de grès et silex soigneusement agencés.

Les ouvertures sont peu nombreuses. Le pignon ouest bâti en grès est renforcé aux extrémités par un appareillage de briques en épis sans doute postérieur.

Le chœur en craie, percé de fenêtres en plein cintre semble avoir été restauré. Il se compose de deux travées droites et d’un chevet à trois pans. "
