La Roche-Maurice Parish close

The central cross carries the crucified Jesus and an unusual crosspiece is decorated at each end with an angel.

[4] Built between 1639 and 1640 as the Saint Anne chapel, it has five windows on each side of the central entrance and above the door a triangular pediment carries the words "Rappelle-toi mon jugement, tel aussi sera le tien : à mon tour aujourd'hui, à ton tour demain" and the date 1639.

On the façade seven carvings depict seven people from different levels of society and death is represented with the "Ankou", armed with an arrow and giving the chilling warning "I will kill you all" ("Je vous tue tous").

The bell-tower is 60 metres high and has a doorway with niches in which are statues of Saints Yves, Pascal Baylon and Vincent Ferrier.

The bell-tower has two bell chambers and is decorated with Gothic spires, gargoyles and Renaissance lanterns.

Behind the altar there is a large, stained glass window dating to 1539 and signed Laurent Sodec.

The rood screen separating the choir from the nave is decorated with fauns and gorgons mixed with apostles and saints.
