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.
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. and only parish churches were permitted to collect tithes.
