Description
The Roman Catholic Church of St Mary is a plain Gothic building constructed in 1854. On January 15, 1873, the body of Emperor Napoleon III was placed in the Sacristy. In 1874, Empress Eugenie added a Mortuary Chapel in French Gothic style to house the Emperor's sarcophagus. The body of the Prince Imperial was brought to the church on July 12, 1879, but both the Emperor's sarcophagus and the Prince's coffin were moved by the Empress to Farnborough, Hampshire, in 1889. There is a memorial to the Prince Imperial on the east wall of the church, erected by Monsignor Goddard, his friend and tutor, at the location where the Prince's coffin rested from 1879 to 1889.
