Evrecy (Calvados), the monastery.

The manuscript sources relating to Evrecy evoke the creation of a monastery of importance during the 7^th century. The archives of the following centuries do not allow the historical sequence to be followed accurately, but it may be supposed that it suffered during the Viking invasions. A significant hiatus exists between this probable destruction in the 9^th century and the building of the church in the 12^th century. This church disappeared in the bombardments of the summer of 1944, and it is in its ruins that the majority of the lapidary fragments were discovered and re-used in the walls.
