Abbey of Saint-Georges, Boscherville

It was founded in about 1113 on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul.

In 1055, Raoul de Tancarville or Raoul-le-Chambellan installed a community of canons in the small funeral chapel, 15.50 m long by 7.50 m wide.

The chapel became too small for the community, the collegiate church, dedicated to Saint George, was built on the site of the temple and the fanum, its choir with a flat apse is under the current chapter house and it had a small cloister.

At first, the canons teach and preach with the support of the aristocracy then, having become rich and powerful, attract the hostility of their benefactors.

In 1823 there were two pits between the choir and the apse covered with paintings with coats of arms where two members of these families were buried.
