Moussey - Saint-Martin

The 12th century church in Moussey (pop. 600) has an impressive narthex. Obviously this porch was used as a place to meet for the residents over centuries.

A nice - and dry place, where people could leave names and dates. All the walls of the porch are covered with carved graffiti. They could even play "Nine Men's Morris" (aka "Mill Game") here.

I just learned, that on one of the sides of Charlemagne's throne is a "Nine Men's Morris" carved in. Legends tell, the marble used for the throne came was taken from Pilate“s palace in Jerusalem, where (if this is right) they must have been used as floor tiles.
