 During the Wars of Religion in the 16th century, the building was badly damaged, and the church bells were thrown into a well (but they were later retrieved and one was able to be restored).It was re-roofed and restored during the reign of Henry IV ('Good King Henry') (1589-1610).Each century since has seen intermittent efforts to restore and improve the church, including a major re-orientation of the building in 1876.
