De-Restored!

            Saint Sulpice le Dunois, Creuse 23, France. 
This view of the church of Saint Sulpice de Bourges, from the south east, gives a better idea of the overall structure of the building than the previous photo. The 11thC nave & chancel were altered in the 14thC, most notably by raising the height of the chancel roof, and the construction of the massive butresses, and the tower. 

There was a sacristy added in the 18thC, which jutted out, most unfortunately, at right angles to the chancel, but this was thankfully removed during the recent restoration, and the sacristy is now in the ground floor of the tower. I have often lamented the way in which medieval buildings were spoiled by later, inappropriate additions, so it is nice to be able to show a building that has been brought back, as far as possible, to very much how it would have looked at the end of the 15thC.
