Tollevast - Saint-Martin

The single-nave church "Saint-Martin" in the center of Tollevast dates back to the 11th/12th century. Seigneur Henri de Tollevast, who fought on the side of William the Conquerer in Hastings, founded this church. His tomb can be found inside.

The carvings inside Saint-Martin are strange and puzzling.

Here are two dogs(?), running (?) over a small man. Is this man a beaten warrior, hunkering down? An Anglo-Saxon - and are the two dogs Norman lions, dancing over the man?
