Parish churches like Saint Peter played a central role in the life of Norman rural communities in the 14th and 16th centuries. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for collective decisions, religious holidays and important events (marriage, baptisms, burials). At that time, Normandy, then divided between Upper and Lower Normandy, was a predominantly agricultural region, where the Catholic Church strongly structured social and spiritual life. Architectural changes of the 16th century may reflect stylistic changes or needs related to local population growth.
