Epeigné-les-Bois: repairing the village church

Epeigné-les-Bois' church dates at least from 1221 as some of the main beams have been found to date from this year. It is possible that there was a church on this site before this date. 

Today we had the chance to visit the roof top to see how the repair work is progressing. This post will cover the repairs with two others to come inside the church and views across the village from above.
