history

Some Neolithic artifacts have been found in the parish , stone axes , arrowheads , scrapers and boar-tooth tips made of flint , tools used in hunting and agriculture .

The Roman road from Breviodurum ( Brionne ) to Noviomagus Lexoviorum ( Lisieux ) led through the municipality. Tegulae , roof tiles from the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD) have been found on both sides of the church . A Merovingian cemetery was also discovered on one side (5th to 8th century). One of the skeletons lay with its head on a tegula. More tegulae were found in the hamlet of La Haute-Vieille , whose name could be derived from Villa . A denarius from the reign of Nero (54–68) was also found in La Haute-Vieille .

Lamberti Villa was mentioned in a document in the Carolingian period (751 to 10th century). The name was contracted to Lamberville . Boissy, on the other hand, has the oldest visible remains of a medieval building. Part of the north wall of the church and its small Romanesque window were erected in the middle of the 11th century. 1152 both fiefdoms in a bull of Pope Eugene III. mentioned. Several Seigneurs are known by name, for example Richard de Lamberville or Guichard de Boissy. Other fiefdoms were Le Coudray, La Mottinière and La Vastine.

From the Middle Ages to 1701 one existed leprosarium called Ladrerie de la Cahannaie in the locality. The former chapel of Saint-Clair in the southwest of the municipality belonged to the leprosy , its patron saint was the local Saint Clair of Beauvaisis. A text from 1402 describes the life of lepers . The sick were not allowed to appear in the village more than twice a week and were not allowed to go to Bernay on Saturday, market day. In the 16th century the leprosy was under the control of the Lisieux diocese . As there were fewer and fewer lepers, the leprosarium became superfluous. In 1676 the facility was therefore handed over to the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel . In 1695 it came into the possession of the Bernay Hospital. After 1699 the chapel was a place of pilgrimage. The pilgrims hoped for a cure from eye problems. In 1701 the buildings of the leprosarium were destroyed. In 1781 the chapel was destroyed at the request of the parish priest of Boissy-Lamberville.

In the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) a weaver from Boissy-Lamberville was captured in August 1422 after the "Battle of Bernay" by the French under Jean de la Haye and Jean VII. D'Harcourt . The battle took place on the plain between Saint-Mards-de-Fresne and Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire . The English under Thomas of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Clarence lost the battle. The weaver was abducted by the French on the grounds that he could not pay them a ransom and therefore had to work for them. He was allowed to return home in June 1423.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Heusté de Lamberville family had a castle built. In 1624 Jacques Heusté owned the Lamberville fiefdom, he was chairman of the Rouen Court of Auditors . His successor was as deputy of the abbot prior of the Abbey of Le Bec . He bequeathed part of his property to the abbey and church of Boissy-Lamberville, but not the fief that went to his nephew. 1704 Lamberville and Boissy were united for the Seigneur Léon de Heusté. Louis IV. Henri de Bourbon, prince de Condé , spent a few days in the manor house when he visited his mistress Jeanne-Agnès Berthelot de Pléneuf (1698–1727) in her castle in Courbépine . For this, some trees were felled to widen the access roads. A few years before the French Revolution (1789–1799) the mansion was sold.

In 1789, the inhabitants of Boissy-Lamberville wrote an extensive Cahier de Doléances ('complaint book'), which is now in the archives of the department. In it, the inhabitants demanded, among other things, the right to hunt , which was one of the seigneurial rights before the revolution. They justified this with the fact that the game caused crop damage. In addition, the residents demanded judicial reform to speed up legal proceedings . Before the French Revolution, Boissy-Lamberville was under the jurisdiction of the Marquisate of Appeville-Annebault . On November 25, 1792, a new court was elected based in Thiberville, which only moved to Bernay in 1945. The municipality elected a member who brought the "Complaints Booklet" to Bernay and there elected the members who were sent to the Estates General in Paris .

1792 began recruiting for the First Coalition War (1792-1797). At first, recruiting was easy until the first soldiers were wounded or killed. In 1793 Boissy-Lamberville received the administrative status of a municipality under the name Boissy .

On the 17th Pluviôse of the year II (February 5th, 1794) a clergyman from Boissy-Lamberville received permission to emigrate to England. Three days later, the local Société publique invited to the public burning of the seigneurial certificates and papers at the foot of the freedom tree. The Sociétés publiques were used to mediate between the municipal council and the Comité de surveillance révolutionnaire ('revolutionary surveillance committee'), which in turn was subordinate to the security committee . On the 3rd Germinal of the year II (March 23, 1794) the inhabitants gathered and asked in vain that the Holy Mass should take place. They said they were good Catholics and good revolutionaries. A few days later, the pastor Jacques-Louis Le Valois returned the document of his ordination and resigned from his office. As a result, residents armed with clubs stormed the parish hall and expelled the members of the Société publique from it. On the 21st Prairial of the year II (June 9th 1794) the church was declared aum Temple de la Raison ('Temple of Reason'). The Temples de la Raison were used to practice the cult of the Supreme Being . On the 23rd Germinal of the year III (April 12th 1795) the inhabitants demanded the opening of the church to the free practice of religion. Although the mayor supported them, their concerns were ignored. On the 1st Messidor of the year III (June 19, 1795) the residents tried unsuccessfully to buy the church.

19th and 20th centuries

1801 received Boissy-Lamberville through the administrative reform in the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) under the name Boissy the right to local self-government . As a result of the Wars of Liberation (1813-1815), the entire canton was occupied by the Prussian army in August 1815 . In January 1871 the whole canton was occupied again by the Prussians, this time as a result of the Franco-Prussian War . After the preliminary peace at Versailles the hostile actions lasted only a few days, but the total damage in Boissy-Lamberville amounted to a sum of 20,587 francs .

During the First World War , the community was only indirectly affected. No fighting took place in the entire canton. But Boissy-Lamberville soldiers fell, leaving families in grief. During the Second World War , Boissy-Lamberville and the entire canton were occupied by German troops in 1940 and liberated on August 23, 1944 by the II. Canadian Corps after heavy fighting in Saint-Germain-la-Campagne .

Culture and sights

Lamberville Castle

The castle of Lamberville was built at the beginning of the 17th century in the classicist baroque style. In terms of dimensions, it is more like a mansion than a castle. In the 19th century the building came into the possession of the de Captot family through marriage and remained in their possession until the 1980s. Then it was sold several times. In the 1990s, a farmer received the building, which at that time was already known as a "ruin". He didn't use it and the castle deteriorated even more. It is a remarkable testimony to the regional architecture of the 17th century. The walls are made of brick and limestone . The slate roof has a steep angle of inclination. A serrated frieze runs around the house , with the exception of the south facade, which has a diamond frieze. The inside of the building is devastated. All that remains is the flight of stairs in the style of the Louis quatorze , which runs straight up to the first floor . The railing is made of forged iron and balusters made of oak . There are also the remains of a moth on the castle grounds .

Parish Church of Notre-Dame

The Gregorian reforms in the 11th century gave Mary greater importance. Eight churches in the canton date from that time and have Mary (“ Our Lady ”) as their patron saint. One of these churches is the parish church of Notre-Dame de Boissy-Lamberville. The church has a beautiful wooden porch from the 16th century, which was restored in the 19th century. The door leaves of the entrance were also made in the 16th century. They are richly decorated and classified as Monument historique ('historical monument'). The choir was also rebuilt and enlarged in the 16th century. It is made entirely of stone . The steeple is octagonal and covered with slate. The walls of the nave are made of flint and stone, which are arranged in a checkerboard pattern in the lower area and in stripes in the upper area. The sacristy was added to the choir in the 19th century. At the top of the south facade is a sundial from 1721, which is adorned with the coat of arms of the Heusté de Lamberville family. The church windows were made in the 19th century.

The area of ​​the church, its cemetery, the cemetery wall and the two cemetery windows are classified as site classé ('natural and cultural monument'). The yew trees were planted on the 14th frimaire of the year XIV (December 15th, 1805). After the previous yew trees were felled and sold to use the proceeds to pay for church repairs. In the cemetery there is a cemetery cross made of sandstone , which was erected in 1766. The "Haus der Charité " in the cemetery is a small half-timbered house from the 17th century.

South facade and yew, you can see the patterns of the masonry here.

In the church there are several processional banners from the 19th and 20th centuries, several paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and other works of art. A processional banner dates from the 19th century and was used by the Charité de Notre-Dame de Boissy-Lamberville, founded in 1398. It shows Saint Sebastian . Another procession banner comes from the 20th century and was used by the Charité de Boissy-Lamberville, which was founded in 1923. It shows Saint Nicholas of Myra . A painting from 1806 depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and was painted by the Bernay artist Pierre-Nicolas Selles (1751–1831). The confessional was made in the 18th century. The holy water font on the south side altar dates from the 17th century. The current high altar was made in 1920. Its theme is the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of France after the First World War. The names of the Boissy-Lamberville soldiers who died in World War I are written on a plaque. During the revolution, the high altar was removed from the building and deposited in the cemetery, where it was exposed to the elements. The altar was eventually smashed and only two putti from the end of the 17th century remain. They were integrated into the porch from which they were stolen in June 2002. The destroyed high altar was replaced by a simple altar in 1796, which was used until 1920.
