history

In 1409 Le Favril was a so-called Demi-fief de Haubert , roughly 'halved fiefdom of the ring armor '. This form of subdivision of fiefs was common in feudalism only in Normandy and Brittany . The owner of the fiefdom automatically became a knight when he inherited the fiefdom and was 21 years old and had to serve in his master's rural army. The ring armor was the symbol of chivalry in this context. When these fiefs were inherited, they could be divided into up to eight parts. The half-life Le Favril was under the Barony of Orbec . The high courts had the Vicomté Folleville occupied. In 1784, the Folleville Court maintained a courtroom in Le Favril, which also fed the poor .

In the 18th century until the French Revolution (1789–1799) the fiefdom belonged to the Seigneurs of Heudreville-en-Lieuvin. In the Ancien Régime , the parish priest was always appointed by the seigneur.

In 1793, during the French Revolution, Le Favril received the status of a municipality under the name of Favril and, in 1801, through the administrative reform in the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) under the current name, the right to local self-government . Le Favril belonged during the revolution to Sergenterie of Folleville and introduced two deputies for their advice. This council elected deputies to the National Assembly .

In the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), Le Favril paid a total of 11,603  francs to the German authorities . 6979 francs in the form of duties and taxes and 4624 francs in the form of requisitioned goods or property that was destroyed.

During the Second World War (1939-1945), Le Favril was occupied by the German Wehrmacht in 1940 and liberated by Canadian forces on August 24, 1944 .

From 1398 to 1509 the number of households was sporadically determined. That was important for the collection of taxes, the so-called fouages . The historian Michel Nortier estimates the average number of people in a household in Normandy at that time at five. In Le Favril there were 29 households in 1506 and therefore around 145 inhabitants. In 1509 there were 37 households and thus 185 inhabitants.

In the year VII of the Revolution (September 22, 1798 to September 22, 1799), the census determined for the first time statistical data on the civil status and gender of the inhabitants. It was also examined how many residents had fought in the First Coalition War. In Favril there were six "Defenders of the Fatherland" ( Défenseurs de la patrie ) .

The census in 1866 also determined how many houses there were in the communities, how many residents could read and write, and who made a living from agriculture or the textile industry. At that time there were 146 houses in Le Favril. Of the 499 inhabitants, 117 could only read, 183 read and write. 354 people worked in agriculture, 42 in the textile industry.

In 2009, 21.1 percent of the workforce were employed in the municipality, the rest were commuters . 14.8 percent of the employees were unemployed . There were 99 residential buildings in the parish, seven of which were vacant.

Culture and sights

The Sainte-Geneviève church

Le Favril belongs to the Roman Catholic community Communauté de Giverville that part of the parish Montgeoly the Diocese of Evreux is. Saint Genoveva of Paris is the patron saint of the Church of Sainte-Geneviève . The church stands in the middle of the cemetery, which is enclosed by a wall made of flint and brick . The church was built in the 12th century. However, only a few remains of the wall remain from that time. This includes the walled up "Paradiespforte" (porte du Paradis) in the south wall of the nave . The priest used to enter the building through this door and the coffins were carried out through this door.

Walled up "Paradise Gate" from the 12th century

The choir and the nave were renewed in the 16th century. The 16th century sections are made of black flint and white stones arranged in a checkerboard pattern . In 1786 the windows in the nave were enlarged. The apse and sacristy were also built in the 18th century. The portal porch consists of a half-timbered construction and was built in the 19th century. New church windows were made and installed in 1936 and 1937. The color blue dominates in the windows depicting the life of Saint Genoveva. In 1961 the building was entered in the additional directory of the Monuments historiques ('historical monuments') and thus listed . In 1965 a hurricane damaged the building. In 1975 lightning struck the roof of the church tower, after which the church was restored. In 2001, excessive rain caused the foundation to sink, whereupon restoration work was carried out again.

The interior of the church was restored in 1991. The furnishings date from different centuries. The altars were built in the 17th century. The church also has two processional banners from 1886 and 1891 and several processional candlesticks from the Confrérie de Charité of Le Favril. The Confrérie de charité de Saint Eutrope was founded in 1885 and took part in the first meeting of the Charités in Giverville in 1947 . At the beginning of the 20th century there was a second Catholic lay brotherhood, the Confrérie de la Sainte Vierge , better known under the name Enfants de Marie Immaculée ('Children of the Virgin Mary').

The former manor house La Bucaille is now only a ruin and is used as a stable. It is a half-timbered house with foundation walls made of flint stones.

The rectory was built in the 17th century. The half-timbered house now houses a restaurant.

In the municipality, there are controlled designations of origin (AOC) for Pont-l'Évêque cheese , Calvados and Pommeau ( Pommeau de Normandie ) as well as Protected Geographical Indications (IGP) for pork ( Porc de Normandie ) , poultry ( Volailles de Normandie ) and cider ( Cider de Normandie and Cider normand ) .

There is now a primary school in Le Favril. In 1734 a school in Le Favril was first mentioned in a document. It lasted during the revolution but was closed in the 1820s. The lessons were given in neighboring communities until 1892. The school and then the Mairie were built by 1894.
