BERNAY
. The church of Sainte-Croix at Bernay (Eure) was begun in 1374. The choir was
completed without aisles by the end of the 14th century, as were four arcades, the north
crossing, the north aisle of the nave, and the principal entrance. The nave, built during the
first part of the 15th century, features intersecting, ribbed vaulting. Sainte-Croix contains
the tombstone of Guillaume d’Auvillars, abbot of Bec (1418), and large statues (15th c.)
of the Apostles and Evangelists. These stand against the pillars of the nave and choir. The
aisles and radiating chapels were constructed in the 19th century.
