Inside the church, various displaced corbels are now displayed.

Megaphallic man blowing a horn, a person with a rope, and a squatting figure - presumably entertainers.

Compare with a similar figure at Saint-Morillon.

There is also this splendid capital illustrating the Feast of Dives from the parable in the Gospel of St Luke,
with the beggar Lazarus being licked by a dog.


...as well as a fresco on the same subject.



Another banquet seems to be represented on this capital:
the feast of King Herod, with John the Baptist about to be decapitated on the left,
and his head served on a plate.
