Inscription 1719

The fabric meetings were hold there. Since 1655, it was required to the fabric committee to hold their meeting in the sacristy. The fabric committee was compound of members of the parish chaired by the priest. It looked over the financial management of the parish, to change the donation in kind into money and to order the building or restoring works.

The sacristy

 

A long bank stand all along the wall to allow the whole fabric committee to sit down. In the middle there is a table which was used as a collecting box. In fact it has two slits getting to drawers.

There is too a very big sacristy wardrobe, on which pediment a wide engraving give us the date and the names of the orderers of the furniture.
