Bury - Saint-Lucien

The parish church in Bury, a village just about 5kms west of in Cambronne-lès-Clermont is even a little older than "Saint Etienne" (previous uploads).

A priory, depending from the Abbey of Saint-Jean-d'Angély existed here in 1085. Obviously the existing church got demolished and replaced by the church, seen here. It was completed in 1140. It proved to be too small within a century and so the large Gothic transept and a new choir were added. The church is known for the Romanesque capitals along the nave - but the doors were locked.
