Reading edition

St. Gervais, at Falaise, has a good Romanesque tower consecrated in the presence of Henry I of England. The nave’s southern pier arcade is Romanesque, but the arches on the north side were reconstructed as Gothic at the same time that the vaults were redone during the XIII century. See Congrès Archéologique, 1848, 1864, and 1908, p. 367; Louis Régnier, “Falaise et la vallée d’Auge,” in Annuaire normand, 1892; Langevin, Recherches historiques sur Falaise; Meriel, Hist. de Falaise (1889); Black, Normandy and Picardy, Their Castles, Churches, and Footprints of William the Conqueror.
