In the town of Villaines-la-Juhel stands the remains of the original Church of St Georges, all that remains is the original Bell tower. The rest of the church was demolished in 1963. On a small garden in front of the tower stands a lovely menhir of approximately 2mtrs in height. It has been hand worked and the tool markings are visible. It is noted locally as a Celtic stone.
