Origin and history

Saint-Thomas-de-Cantorbery de Pourville-sur-Mer is a monument located in the commune of Hautot-sur-Mer, Normandy. Although his name refers to Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, the available sources do not specify his period of construction or his detailed history. Medieval or post-medieval churches in Normandy often played a central role in the lives of local communities.

They served as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker for coastal villages, where activities were mainly directed towards fishing, agriculture and maritime commerce.
