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. The priory´s church got demolished in the early 12th century and got replaced by larger building. It was completed in 1140, but proved to be too small within a century and so a large Gothic transept and a new choir were added. The church is known for the Romanesque capitals along the nave - but all doors, here seen that ones of the weathered side portal, were locked.
