History
The parish church of Authon was a possession of the nearby Premonstratensian abbey of L'Étoile from the late 12th century. Authon's curates were drawn from the ranks of the abbey's brothers.
The priory was dissolved at the time of the French Revolution. The church was substantially rebuilt in the mid-19th century.
