"The Saint-Martin church was built in the 18th century, in freestone with sandstone foundations. The porch tower is the oldest element of the church and dates from 1719. The nave was completed in 1825.

In 1800, a terrible hurricane ravaged the solidity of the body of the church, the bell tower and the spire. The spire was identically redone in 1825.

The tower-porch dating from 1719, reinforced by buttresses at each corner, is surmounted by a bell tower topped with a Gothic style spire decorated with hooks on the edges and skylights like other churches in the Somme valley."

" L’église Saint-Martin est construite au XVIIIe siècle, en pierre de taille avec des soubassement en grès. La tour-porche est l’élément le plus ancien de l’église et date de 1719. La nef est achevée en 1825.

En 1800, un terrible ouragan a ravagé la solidité du corps de l’église, le clocher et la flèche. La flèche fut refaite à l’identique en 1825.

La tour-porche datant de 1719, renforcée par des contreforts à chaque angle, est surmontée d'un clocher coiffé d’une flèche de style gothique ornée de crochets sur les arêtes et de lucarnes comme d'autres églises de la vallée de la Somme."
