About Eglise Notre Dame de Calais

Eglise Notre-Dame is a Roman Catholic parish church located on Rue de la Paix, in Calais, branch of Pas-de-Calais, in northern France. In the Tudor architectural subculture, it dates from the twelfth century, and mainly from the 14th century. The church became broken all through the early wars among France and England, especially in 1346-forty seven, after the Battle of Crecy. Many of the kings and queens of France and England prayed right here. And John Bouncier, 2nd Baron Burners is buried inside the church choir.

On eleven July 1469 George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, the 0.33 surviving son of Richard Plantagenet, third Duke of York, and Cecily Neville, and the brother of English Kings Edward IV and Richard III, become married to Isabel Neville, via Rt. Red George Neville, Archbishop of York.

The tower of Notre Dame church became used as an observation factor for the Anglo-French Survey 1784–1790, which used trigonometry to calculate the correct distance among the Paris Observatory and the Royal Greenwich Observatory. Cross-channel sightings were made in September and October 1787 of sign lighting at Dover Castle and Firelight Down, and vice versa.
