History
The church's origins lie with a privately owned fort which is thought to have been destroyed during the Viking raids. Construction of the stone church began around the year 911, starting with a chapel; now the nave.[1]
Establishment of the parish church
The church became a parish church no later than 1067, because it is known that Duke William II of Normandy granted half the tithes of the church to Montivilliers Abbey in Upper Normandy.[1] and only parish churches were permitted to collect tithes.
