Eglise à Epeigné – réparations impressionants ! + a contrast....



The church at Epeigné-les-Bois has been undergoing extensive repairs for at least a year now. Using specialist workers the results are certainly impressive. The pity, of course, is that the church is rarely used. 

Detailed work on the tower  

Scaffolding and machinery 

 Working on the curved eastern end of the church 
– seems similar to the brow of a boat 

(above and below)

 Work advances 



Somewhat of a contrast......
Earlier this year the commune of Epeigné-les-Bois biult a wall to support the land behind the Salle des Fêtes. Unfortunately the mason's work on this wall was far below that of the quality being shown in the restoration of the church. 


 Immaculate work on church contrasting with commune's wall
The two walls do not appear to be joined together....
