History of Ailly-le-haut-clocher in Picardy

Ailly-le-haut-clocher is a quaint French commune nestled in the department of Somme, in the historically rich region of Picardy. Deriving its name from a Gallo-Roman farm called “Alius”, the distinctive high bell tower, which soars to a height of 56 meters, became a prominent feature of the village’s identity. Historical records indicate that in 831, Ailly-le-haut-clocher was under the domain of the Abbey of Saint-Riquier. By around the year 1500, the village was sold by Catherine de Fosseux to Josse Beauvarlet. In 1556, the iconic spire of Ailly was crafted by a skilled carpenter named François Glassant. Tragically, in 1615, the serene town faced devastation at the hands of Marshal d’Ancre’s troops.
