We spotted another 12th century Romanesque church, passing through Barneville Carteret and stopped for a look.

I guess I forgot to get much of an exterior photo; imagine,
however, a grey stone building, rectangular, thick walls, arches
all over, narrow or slit windows... |
 |
The interior was notable for having partitioned
pews, something new to us |
 |
The outside sculpture was similar to the rest we have seen
recently in such churches |
 |
| If a bit tamer |
 |
| Inside, so much tamer that they even tell Bible stories |
 |
| Some of them |
 |
| Some of them |
 |
| Etc. |
 |
| Ditto |

Barneville is also the place where Gen. Bradley declared the
Cotentin, and Cherbourg, liberated, June18, 1944 |

Interesting pews. Wonder why they were made that way. I believe that I have seen pews like that in a Catholic church in Arkansas.
