Section 01
The Church
The building and what was done to it. 4 entries, each one a document, a building or a claim, and who made it.
-
01
Saint Mary Magdalene
The parish church itself: a small building of no particular distinction until the 1890s, when its interior was comprehensively and expensively redone.
-
02
Saunière's refurbishment
The scale of the work is the whole question — a rural parish church fitted out far beyond what its income could support.
-
03
The painted plaster and the stoup
The much-discussed figure supporting the holy water basin inside the door, and the painted scheme around it.
-
04
The furnishings
Altar, statues, stations and glass, itemised where the accounts and the diocesan record allow.
