"The stone building has a stone spire, in neo-Gothic style. Its choir was restored in 1869.
A white marble tumular stone from the old church has been preserved, embedded in the arcade between the choir and the North cross: it belongs to Guillaume François Nicolle, who died on September 7, 1754, who was parish priest for 31 years. .
Two other white marble plaques, embedded in the north wall of the nave, bear more recent epitaphs, including that of Viscount Armand de Melun (1807-1877), benefactor of the village who financed its reconstruction after the fire that ravaged a street entire by spreading through thatched roofs in 1876.

"L'édifice en pierre possède une flèche aussi en pierre, de style néogothique. Son chœur a été restauré en 1869.
Une pierre tumulaire en marbre blanc de l'ancienne église a été conservée, encastrée dans l'arcade entre le chœur et le croisillon Nord : elle appartient à Guillaume François Nicolle, décédé le 7 septembre 1754, qui fut curé de la paroisse pendant 31 ans.
Deux autres plaques de marbre blanc, encastrées dans le mur Nord de la nef, portent des épitaphes plus récentes, dont celle du Vicomte Armand de Melun (1807-1877), bienfaiteur du village qui finança sa reconstruction après l'incendie qui ravagea une rue entière en se propageant par les toitures de chaume, en 1876."
